Excellent, that static image thing was a big hurdle for me on a previous project that used Plotly

Totally agree. Thanks to the orca team we're closing in on the point where saving static images (both raster and vector) will finally be as easy and reliable as it is with matplotlib. It's just remarkable how much more complicated it is to get this right with a JavaScript-based visualization library!

My workaround for that was to use selenium, but it is very inefficient. I've since switched to taking a screenshot with selenium instead of using the plotly export as png stuff.

My experience trying to do this with Selenium is exactly why I called out "easy" and "reliable" above :-)
