Presentation/Demo
Matt Sundquist, Co-Founder Plotly
Plotly (https://plot.ly) is a new web-based platform for making graphs and analyzing data. Plotly's APIs and web app let
teams work together online to make 2D, 3D, and streaming graphs using R, Python, MATLAB, Julia, SAS, and and
Excel, all together, all in one platform.
The goal is to support technical and non-technical collaboration at all levels. Plotly translates ggplot2, matplotlib, and
MATLAB plots into interactive, web-based, shareable plots. Graphs are rendered in D3.js (a popular JavaScript
visualization library), and interactive out of the box. Plotly is free for unlimited public sharing, lets you control privacy
and collaboratively edit graphs from different languages and environments, and you always own your data. The goal is
to be a GitHub for sharing data and plots.
