Plotly generates javascript for interactive plots not static image like png.
Most simply, you can try this:
```julia
using Plots
plotly()
p = plot(sin)
savefig(p, "p") # generates p.html file.
```
and push the camera button in the hovering toolbar to save the plot as a .png image file.
There are several other ways to produce plotly plots using Julia:
- PlotlyJS.jl
- [Plotly julia graphing library in Julia](https://plot.ly/julia/)
- using PyCall; pl = pyimport(“plotly”)

open up p.html file and push the camera button in the hovering toolbar to save the plot as a .png image file.

Thank you.
But I don’t know how to push the button from Julia. 🙂 It’s joke. :).

PlotlyJS’s [docs](http://spencerlyon.com/PlotlyJS.jl/manipulating_plots/#saving-figures) suggests to use the [ORCA.jl package](https://github.com/sglyon/ORCA.jl)
