Interactive plotting with the plotly backend

  run this example as a notebook — or grab the .ipynb (also linked at the bottom of the page)

HyperTools 1.0 can render any plot with plotly instead of matplotlib by passing backend=’plotly’ – handy for rotating and zooming 3D plots interactively. With the default backend=’auto’, hypertools automatically uses plotly on Google Colab and Kaggle notebooks (where plotly is preinstalled and interactivity works best) and matplotlib everywhere else, so existing workflows are unchanged. Both backends produce the same styling: colors, line/marker sizes, format strings, and the signature cube frame.
