partial_bundles.R

#' Use a partial bundle of plotly.js
#'
#' Leveraging plotly.js' partial bundles can lead to smaller file sizes 
#' and faster rendering. The full list of available bundles, and the
#' trace types that they support, are available 
#' [here](https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/dist/README.md#partial-bundles) 
#' 
#' @details WARNING: use this function with caution when rendering multiple 
#' plotly graphs on a single website. That's because, if multiple plotly.js 
#' bundles are used, the most recent bundle will override the other bundles.
#' See the examples section for an example.
#'
#' @param p a plotly object.
#' @param type name of the (partial) bundle. The default, `'auto'`, attempts to  
#' find the smallest single bundle that can render `p`. If no single partial bundle
#' can render `p`, then the full bundle is used.
#' @param local whether or not to download the partial bundle so that it can be
#' viewed later without an internet connection.
#' @param minified whether or not to use a minified js file (non-minified file can be useful for debugging plotly.js)
