Method: Plotlyrb::Plot#create_from_grid

Defined in:
lib/plotlyrb/plot.rb

#create_from_grid(plot_spec, grid_json) ⇒ Object

Takes a list of data hashes (each element is a trace?), response from grid creation, x and y column names (must appear in grid), and a layout. Extracts the column references from the grid response to populate the xsrc # and ysrc fields in data. See api.plot.ly/v2/plots#create
