# Installation

You need to install the python plotly library:

    pip3 install plotly==4.1.0

# Usage

To insert a Plotly chart in a view proceed as follows:

1. Declare a text computed field like this:

       plotly_chart = fields.Text(
           string='Plotly Chart',
           compute='_compute_plotly_chart',
       )

2. In its computed method do:

       def _compute_plotly_chart(self):
           for rec in self:
               data = [{'x': [1, 2, 3], 'y': [2, 3, 4]}]
               rec.plotly_chart = plotly.offline.plot(data,
                                            include_plotlyjs=False,
                                            output_type='div')

3. In the view, add something like this wherever you want to display your plotly chart:

       <div>
           <field name="plotly_chart" widget="plotly_chart" nolabel="1"/>
       </div>
