First pass at updating API for allowing animations

[nicrummel]

Update display function to allow for frames for animation, and add animation example

I see that the Labeler is failing, is there a way I can address this?

Thank you for making an attempt at this! It will be a welcome and helpful contribution.

I have one question about the change to calling the javascript Plotly.newPlot function, but other than that this looks great.

[sglyon]

Does this work as expected?

From the plotly.js docs (ref) it looks like we can use one of two forms of the newPlot function:

Plotly.newPlot(graphDiv, data, layout, config)

Plotly.newPlot(graphDiv, obj)

Here I don't believe we are using either

[nicrummel]

I looked at the documentation, and I believe you caught a mistake. I have fixed the call in the most recent commit.

Now that the PlotlyBase side has been merged, hopefully I'll be able to review this one soon.

Thanks for the contributions and for the patience!

Dr. Lyon,
I see you have been quite busy with the development of other aspects of PlotlyJS.jl. Is ther anything I can do to help get this pull request along?

• Possibly remove the example and docs that I made? Should I move those to another location?

• I could also rebaise my branch on the current master. Would that help?

Regards,
Nic
