Can't close plot windows programmatically

[lewisl]

Used to work via Plots. You don't want to support Plots or they don't want to support PlotlyJS. I don't want to get in the middle. Each to their own.

example:

function bar1()
           data = bar(;x=["giraffes", "orangutans", "monkeys"],
                       y=[20, 14, 23])
           plot(data)
       end
bar1 (generic function with 1 method)
bar1()

A lovely bar chart appears.

It can't be closed. None of the examples or any of the documentation show a plot window being closed.

I can't even find the word "close" in any of the source files. Guess that is not supported.

I realize Plotly to the web doesn't need close: close the tab or browser window.

Likewise in Jupyter: there is a cell that displays and there is nothing to close.

I thought the point of PlotlyJS was to provide a wrapper around Plotly for local use by providing an Electron window. If so, one needs to be able to close that window.

I would be wrong; I'll accept that. I really liked PlotlyJS when it worked with Plots API. If that is no longer going to be supported, no worries. Moving on....

Yep, you're right. I left this out when I updated the display backend.

Will fix soon

Thanks for bringing it up
