Advanced built-in features

The plotly graphs comes with some advanced built-in options including lasso select, pan and zoom.You can also download the visualizations as png or export data

Handling of large data

The default rendering can handle 1000 rows of data. This extension fetches data gradually when the total data exceeds 1000 records. However, the chart will render and refresh as per the data fetched. So the users will not have any delay in seeing the data
