How to add shapes?

[cwiese]

Layout should allow for shapes. I do not see that in PlotLayout. I did not want to switch back to PlotlyBase since I am using the event forwarding.

Can you explain what you mean by "Event forwarding"?

[cwiese]

I need click for drill downs.

I am testing whether the new watchplots() / Sync events works with PlotlyBase instead or StipplePlotly. If it does why would we use StipplePlotly - with concrete types you will he always chasing new attributes adding to PlotlyBase.

• PlotlyBase can handle unknown attributes, that's its big advantage over our own (now legacy) API.
• PlotlyBase does work with event forwarding.

julia> Plot(scatter(xx = 9)).data
1-element Vector{GenericTrace{Dict{Symbol, Any}}}:
 GenericTrace{Dict{Symbol, Any}}(Dict{Symbol, Any}(:xx => 9, :type => "scatter"))

Just today I upgraded StipplePlotly to use the latest plotly version. It's not yet registered, but can be added o the project by

pkg> add StipplePlotly#main

Event forwarding is broken in the latest official release, so expect registration rather soon.
