Introduction

If you use ggplot2, use ggplotly() to convert your ggplot to an interactive, web-based version!

library(plotly)
set.seed(100)
d <- diamonds[sample(nrow(diamonds), 1000), ]
p <- ggplot(data = d, aes(x = carat, y = price)) + 
  geom_point(aes(text = paste("Clarity:", clarity))) +
  geom_smooth(aes(colour = cut, fill = cut)) + facet_wrap(~ cut)
(gg <- ggplotly(p))

Click here to interact with the resulting graph (notice the custom hover text!)

plotly also supports certain chart types that ggplot2 doesn't support (such as 3D surface, point, and line plots). You can easily create these (or any other plotly) charts using the high-level interface.

plot_ly(z = volcano, type = "surface")

The ggplotly() function converts a ggplot object to a plotly object, so if you like, you may 'post-process' your ggplot graphs to add custom plotly features, for example:

layout(gg, hovermode = "closest")
