Hello everyone,

I have few datasets that are enormous in size. Due to the size of data, interactive plots take very large time to load and sometimes that plots go unresponsive. Hence, I would like to display static plots instead of interactive plot.  
I have tried to plot the data using matplotlib and later the matplotlib plot image is just displayed on the plotly dashboard. This is quick and works as inteded.  
However, I am trying to explore the possibility of doing all the above operations by just using plotly.  
Please suggest the possibility.
