I think pretty much most or all of the (introductory) examples at [Plotly julia graphing library in Julia](https://plot.ly/julia/#basic-charts) are broken at this point in 0.6.2. this is a pity—the outline and docs on their webpage look great.

is there a halfway correct starter’s guide?

are the folks at plot.ly (still) maintaining Plotly for julia, or has Plotly for Julia been de-facto abandoned for now?

Note that there is also [PlotlyJS.jl](https://github.com/sglyon/PlotlyJS.jl) (instead of [Plotly.jl](https://github.com/plotly/Plotly.jl)) that is well maintained.

One of the advantages of PlotlyJS.jl is that all the examples from the Plotly javascript library also work in Julia with slight modifications.
