I was investigating an issue with the plotly/MATLAB-Online API (imatlab/imatlab#13) and found that the Python statement has an undesirable effect for offline plotly:
import plotly
Whenever this is encountered, and the files do not yet exist, the folder
~/.plotly
is created and then two files~/.plotly/.credentials
and~/.plotly/.config
are also created.This is annoying if we want to run Plotly offline because these files are unnecessary. But it is also different than
plotly/MATLAB-Online
, which on Windows, does not even use~/.plotly
as the plotly directory. On Windows, it uses%APPDATA%\.plotly
instead.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
