Description
Plotly is an open source plotting package that is more oriented toward science than Highcharts.
Study the following:
- Can we control tooltips?
- What control do we have during selection?
- In general, can monitor or have hooks into their events?
- How hard to port histograms, scatter and density?
- How hard to create a heat map to replace density?
- Do they support optimized updates and not complete redraws?
Overall we want a sense if we should go to the next step of replacing Highcharts. We need to understand how much efforts would be involved.

Please, review the confluence page, added as an implementation of this ticket, and let me know if there is something else you'd like to see on that page.
Feel free to update https://confluence.lsstcorp.org/display/DM/Plotly+evaluation or leave the comments under.
- for Histogram, Plotly 'histogram' support the histogram of even bin size and overlaid (multiple) data set. In order to have variable bin size for the histogram chart, we are using 'bar' chart to support single data set and more implementation will be made later to make histogram chart (with variable bin size) to support multi-layer overlaid data set.
The content is reviewed by Cindy. Updated text to include her note about histograms.
Information on Plotly and the answers to the questions above can be found at [Plotly Evaluation](https://confluence.lsstcorp.org/display/DM/Plotly+evaluation) confluence page.
