Comment
Plotly is an easy to use function to produce interactive graph. An simple way to demonstrate that is to use it in combination to ggplot2.
Using the diamonds dataset, we plot the price as a function of the diamond size (carat) and we use the color to represent the clarity of the diamonds.

Conclusion
Plotly is a very efficient way to produce interactive visualization of the data.
I enjoyed going through the examples on their website and my eyes was caught with the great possibility of making a full dashboard.

Comment
Going further with plotly:
Plotly also proposes a range of function to improve the interactivity with the graph. In the following R code, we will produce a range slider of the Amazon stock.
We will use the quantmod package to get the price of the amazon stocks and plot the time series.
