ggplotly does not render in Jupyter

[rcrezende]

When executing the following in the Jupyter Notebook no plot is returned.

library(plotly)

dsamp <- diamonds[sample(nrow(diamonds), 1000), ]
qplot(carat, price, data=dsamp, colour=clarity)

ggplotly()

Is there any plan on supporting Jupyter?

This is a known limitation of the htmlwidgets framework -- ramnathv/htmlwidgets#144

I am new to plotly. I attempted to use the embed_notebook() function but an error was generated
Error in embed_notebook(pp): x must be a plotly figure

library(plotly)
p <- ggplot(data = diamonds, aes(x = cut, fill = clarity)) +
            geom_bar(position = "dodge")
pp <- ggplotly(p)
embed_notebook(pp)

Shouldn't this function render the interactive graph in Jupyter?

Thanks for pointing that out @millermd69, #409 fixes that error.

PS. unless htmlwidgets provides "native" support for Jupyter, I think the best we can do is save each plot to disk and embed as an <iframe>. Unfortunately, that means the HTML files will reside on disk after exiting the notebook, as I'm not sure of a good way to clean up those files upon exit. If anyone has a better solution, I'm all ears!

with the latest plotly, htmlwidgets, jupyter and iRkernel, the follow works.

library(plotly)

dsamp <- diamonds[sample(nrow(diamonds), 1000), ]
p <- qplot(carat, price, data=dsamp, colour=clarity)
as.widget(ggplotly(p))
