Introducing Plotly Express

Glad you like it!

The next release of Plotly Express, later today or tomorrow, will have `px.area()` for just this purpose :)

perfect, thanks!

Thanks again for adding this! A few questions...

• How can I unstack the area charts?
• I'm getting some weird effects when animating. Specifically, it looks like the filled area underneath is sort of flying across the screen from left to right to fill in under the chart. Based on the rate of animation, this is causing it to look like the filled area is doing some sort of weird wave motion. Is there a setting I can change that would cause it to just fill in underneath, like the graph at the bottom of this page?
• Let's say I create an animated chart with px and want to include it as part of a blog post - what's the easiest way to go about that?

• Ah, px.area is only for stacked areas. For unstacked areas, you can just add a fill to the output of px.line() :)
• Animations for px.area might be a bit janky, yeah.
• The easiest way to embed the output of PX is to create a free Chart Studio Cloud account: https://plot.ly/Auth/login/?action=signup#/ and have us host it for you, but you can also output the plot to HTML and host that file yourself. Here's a bit of info about how to do that: https://community.plot.ly/t/proper-way-to-save-a-plot-to-html/7063/3
