plotly/Plotly.NET

Plotly.NET is a .NET library that generates interactive and static data visualizations by binding to the Plotly.js JavaScript library. It provides a comprehensive, type-safe API for constructing diverse chart types—including 2D, 3D, and domain-specific plots—using a modular object model for layout, trace, and configuration. The system supports multiple output formats, including interactive HTML, static images, and notebook-rendered graphics, while offering fluent styling and global default management for consistent chart appearance.

This period focused on modernizing the project's build infrastructure and migrating to .NET 10, while significantly expanding the public API with strongly-typed object abstractions for traces, layouts, and configuration. The library introduced new features including headless image export, notebook integration, and global chart defaults, alongside a comprehensive refactoring of the Chart API for improved type safety and discoverability.

This period focused on significantly expanding the C# API for chart styling and creation, introducing fluent extension methods and supporting types to make the library more idiomatic for C# developers. Concurrently, the team implemented a modular build system and added extensive test coverage for C# bindings, HTML code generation, and various chart types.
