Sarah Lucas joins Pat Schloss to give him a tutorial on how to use the  plotly R package to add interactivity to a scatter plot he created using ggplot. plotly is tool that can convert ggplot2 generated figures into interactive HTML and JavaScript rendered document that users can interact with.

Pat will use RStudio and functions from the ggplot2 package and other packages from the tidyverse. The accompanying blog post can be found at https://www.riffomonas.org/code_club/2021-03-26-plotly.
