supported ggplotly theme elements

In this RPub I will give examples of the theme options for non-data elements currently implemented in ggplotly.

I will show several modified versions of the iris data scatterplot below.

library(ggplot2)
ggiris <- qplot(Petal.Width, Sepal.Length, data = iris, color = Species)
ggiris

plot of chunk unnamed-chunk-2

First install and load library(plotly).

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("plotly", "ropensci")
library(plotly)
py <- plotly("new_username", "YOUR_KEY")
