Plotly is a Python library for creating interactive, high-quality graphs and visualizations. It supports a wide range of chart types including line charts, bar charts, scatter plots, 3D plots, and dashboards. Plotly integrates seamlessly with Pandas and supports web-based visualization via Dash. It’s widely used for data analysis, reporting, and creating interactive dashboards for both business and scientific applications.
