The DataPlotly plugin
The plots are completely interactive with map features: when clicking or selecting a plot element the corresponding map feature will be highlighted.
DataPlotly allows the creation of many different plot types: each plot type has many additional customization that enhance the plot in many different ways.
Besides the possibility of a single plot, DataPlotly allows to overlap the plots (even of different type) or the user can separate the plots in a plot grid.
DataPlotly uses the JavaScript library Plotly constantly developed and updated. Thanks to different API, Plotly can be used also with different programming languages (Python, R, NodeJS, etc.).
Each plot has its raw html code that can be embedded anywhere.
Furthermore plots can be saved as static (png) images of as html
files: the latter keep the plot interactivity.

DataPlotly is translatable in different languages. Both GUI and manual are hosted on Transifex where you can ask for your language and translate DataPlotly.
Currently the plugin is avilable in:
- English
- Italian
