+Plotly Example
+==============
+
+Thebe can display output from plotly.py_.
+
+.. _plotly.py: https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py
+
+Setup
+=====
+
+Be sure to load require.js before any of your thebe activation code so that the
+Jupyter widgets can function:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+   <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/require.js/2.3.4/require.min.js"></script>
+
+Configure thebe and load it:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+   <script type="text/x-thebe-config">
+     {
+       requestKernel: true,
+       binderOptions: {
+         repo: "plotly/plotly.py",
+         ref: "doc-prod",
+         binderUrl: "https://binder.libretexts.org",
+         repoProvider: "github",
+       },
+     }
+   </script>
+   <script src="https://unpkg.com/thebelab@latest/lib/index.js"></script>
+
+Create a button to activate thebe:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+   <button id="activateButton" style="width: 120px; height: 40px; font-size: 1.5em;">
+     Activate
+   </button>
+   <script>
+   var bootstrapThebe = function() {
+       thebelab.bootstrap();
+   }
+   document.querySelector("#activateButton").addEventListener('click', bootstrapThebe)
+   </script>
+
+Now add code cells between these HTML tags:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+   <pre data-executable="true" data-language="python"></pre>
+
+Example
+=======
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+   <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/require.js/2.3.4/require.min.js"></script>
+   <script type="text/x-thebe-config">
+     {
+       requestKernel: true,
+       binderOptions: {
+         repo: "plotly/plotly.py",
+         ref: "doc-prod",
+         repoProvider: "github",
+       },
+     }
+   </script>
+   <script src="https://unpkg.com/thebelab@latest/lib/index.js"></script>
+
+Press the "Activate" button below to connect to a Jupyter server:
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+   <button id="activateButton" style="width: 120px; height: 40px; font-size: 1.5em;">
+     Activate
+   </button>
+   <script>
+   var bootstrapThebe = function() {
+       thebelab.bootstrap();
+   }
+   document.querySelector("#activateButton").addEventListener('click', bootstrapThebe)
+   </script>
+
+Here is a distribution plot example from https://plotly.com/python/distplot/
+(MIT License):
+
+.. raw:: html
+
+   <pre data-executable="true" data-language="python">
+   import plotly.express as px
+   df = px.data.tips()
+   fig = px.histogram(df, x="total_bill", y="tip", color="sex", marginal="rug",
+                      hover_data=df.columns)
+   fig.show()
+   </pre>
