Just curious, for what reasons would you like to run it on your own infrastructure (computational reasons, data privacy reasons, etc)? Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, internet connectivity definitely complicates the embedded system project. A plotly-serial bridge (@RaphiePS) is a good idea to remove some of the pain in the data-vis workflow of embedded systems. Anyway, thanks for the feedback and d

To be honest, I haven't tested with Py3. It sounds like it isn't... I'll look into it. Thanks for reporting!

Glad to hear! IMO, it's nice to have graphs/results from these 3 environments all in the same place in the cloud. Feel free to get in touch if you have any feedback! chris[at]plot.ly

That's a really great idea. I don't think that you are in the minority, considering the number of scientific instruments that talk over serial. It would be cool to make plotting from these devices one (or several) step(s) easier.

I will - thanks for tip!

Sure. You export graphs from within your plotly account (i.e. at https://plot.ly/plot ). With a loaded graph, click "File >" on the toolbar and you should see PNG, PDF, SVG, EPS. You can view any linked graph (i

I've been hearing that more and more lately. We'll definitely roll out Julia soon :)

Cool, get in touch and I can give you hand in the meantime!

I'll definitely place a Perl (and other language modules) on the API page! I think the best way to go about this is to write a REST api as @zhemao suggested. Feel free to email me at chris[at]plot.ly :)

We're interested in providing plotly to companies that can't have their data leave their servers (for ip reasons) but otherwise we're keeping plotly online. Just curious, for what reasons would you prefer an offline version?

Cool, that's really great feedback. I'm certainly more unfamiliar with the Perl community than with the other 3 languages, so thanks for sharing and offering your help!

Cool, that's super helpful feedback. We definitely support installing plotly on private servers -- there are certainly a lot of companies that won't let their data leave their building.

That's great to hear. Personally, I prefer to style the plots with the GUI... it's so much easier and faster than re-running some styling script. Of course, some stylings are too cumbersome to do by hand. For example, I adjusted t

I see, thanks for the feedback. You could do that now by storing the data on your SD card and then dumping that data all at once whenever you want to connect. What kind of example do you have in mind when you say that your device can't

That's cool. Does your company set up this server version or is this something that you manage yourself? I've been using RStudio in my desktop, what do you like about using it in your browser?

by cparmer 13y ago
Yeah, that's a great idea. We'll definitely check that out.

We're focussing on the scientific-computation languages since those users are probably doing the most plotting on the day-to-day and are in most need of a better data collaboration tool. That being said, we'll add interfaces to ot

The idea behind Plotly is: to build a platform where people can collaboratively graph, analyze, and share data. Two months ago we launched Plotly on HN ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5671831 ). We received extremely h
