Does Plotly handle large datasets efficiently?

Plotly can become slow with >50,000 points. To maintain performance, use WebGL rendering by setting render_mode='webgl' or use data decimation techniques before plotting.

Should I use Plotly Express or Graph Objects?

Use Plotly Express (px) for 90% of tasks as it is more concise and works seamlessly with tidy DataFrames. Use Graph Objects (go) only when you need low-level, granular control over specific trace attributes.

Can Plotly be used for geographic data?

Yes, Plotly has excellent support for geospatial analysis, including scatter_geo for point data and choropleth_mapbox for region-based data using GeoJSON.

How do I share Plotly charts with non-technical users?

The best way is to use fig.write_html('filename.html'). This creates a standalone interactive file that can be opened in any web browser without requiring a Python environment.
