I’m interested in having a Smith Chart that is interactive. I have seen static smith charts in some of Julia’s plotting ecosystem. I have found that Plotly has them in its Python library. Is there a way to get that in PlotlyJS.jl? Is the best option to use PyCall or is there another way?

I suggest to open an issue on PlotlyJS.jl, to update the chart types [https://github.com/sglyon/PlotlyBase.jl/blob/master/src/api.jl#L25](https://github.com/sglyon/PlotlyBase.jl/blob/master/src/api.jl#L25) with `scattersmith`.

Have you tried InspectDR.jl?  
[See example here](https://github.com/ma-laforge/FileRepo/blob/master/InspectDR/sampleplots/demo2.png).

Good suggestion. I will submit an issue.

I will try that out to see how well it works. I would prefer a Plotly like interactive interface. Thanks.
