Introduction: Plotly's Figure Objects

Get introduced to Plotly's Figure object in this section.

Imagine that we have published an article that contains a chart. Assume that our readers will, on average, spend one minute looking at the chart. If our chart is easy to understand, then they will probably spend 10 seconds understanding it and 50 seconds thinking, analyzing, and pondering its implications. On the other hand, if the chart is difficult to understand, they will spend 50 seconds reading it and very little time thinking about its implications.
