Custom Visualization based on Plotly

Hello –

I am wondering if it is possible to develop a custom visualization based on the Plotly open-source visualization libraries. Specifically, I am looking to utilize this to create capable control charts.

SPC Control Charts in JavaScript

Is it possible to utilize this library as a dependency in a custom visualization?

@ryan_grojean also posted a Vega-Lite custom visualization but I wasn’t sure if this could do something like what I am looking for.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Following!

Any javascript library can be used for custom visualizations in Looker - You could definitely create this type of chart using Vega as well (the one I created attempts to create a “UI” for assembling many different Vega-lite visuals and thus there are some limits vs creating a more specific one from scratch). You would just need to tie the data and configuration options returned by the Custom Visualization API to the appropriate channels in either Plotly or Vega. It looks like the Plotly one has done most of the work for you in the example so I would start there!

Hope this helps - Ryan
