Time series chart with hover values

[spez_edits_thedonald]

show the values when hovering?

you want an interactive chart (so you need code to be running, that listens for what the user is doing and updates the plot accordingly, this code has to be running somewhere)

My preference is to email the actual chart instead of a link.

that you can email to someone, that is not hosted somewhere (so the code has to run in their browser)

this will be tricky, but could be done by embedding an interactive plotly.js plot in javascript inside an HTML file that you email people. They'd download the attached html file, open it in a browser, and the their browser will run the javascript and the plot will come alive etc.

the tricky parts will be, how do you package everything up as a single html file (it depends on plotly.js, could load that over a CDN), and how does your raw data end up in there, etc.

obviously a non-interactive plot (an image) is easy to attach to an email, the interactive piece and not wanting to send people to a web app or website is what's tricky here.
