# Plotly and Authorea
## Plotly
Plotly is a collaborative data analysis and graphing tool. Plotly lets you access, analyze, and visualize data. Instead of collaborating by emailing a data set, script, graphs, screenshots, and explanations to your team, Plotly lets you work with others online, commenting on projects and saving revisions.
When you see a Plotly graph, on Plotly or in an iframe (like in this paper), you can see the data used to create a graph. Try it out and press the "data and graph" option. Pairing graphs and the relevant data like this solves a real problem; a [recent study](http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episode.cfm?id=where-have-all-the-data-gone-13-12-19) showed that, twenty years after publication in 1991, 80 percent of data used in scientific papers was no longer available. _Solution_. Plotly hosts data, code, and graphs together, and lets you fork your own versions (see _e.g.,_ [this Washington Post article](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2013/06/14/do-low-taxes-on-the-rich-leave-the-middle-class-with-lower-wages/)).
**How it works.** Plotly offers a) a graphing GUI with bubble charts, box plots, line charts, area charts, scatter plots, histograms, 2D histograms, heatmaps, log axes, error bars, date axes, multiple axes, subplots, and insets, b) [APIs](Plot.ly/api) for Python, R, MATLAB, REST, Julia, Arduino, and Perl, c) a Python sandbox and support for NumPy, LaTeX, pandas, datetime, and [IPython Notebook](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/plotly/IPython-plotly/tree/master/) support, d) a grid with fits, functions, stats, ANOVAs, and more.
## Authorea
Authorea is a tool to write research documents in collaboration. The post you are reading was written in Authorea! Collaborating on scholarly papers with a mix of emailed documents, drafts, lost revisions, and comments is inefficient and painful. Authorea puts the whole publication tookit online: an interactive GUI, revision history, comments, and beautiful rendering for images, citations, graphs, LaTeX, mathematical notation. Want to see how equations render in a paper? Here's the Harmonic Wave Function, \(y(x,t) = A\sin \left[ {k(x - \upsilon t)} \right]\), and the Gamma Function:
\[\Gamma \left( x \right) = \int\limits_0^\infty {s^{x - 1} e^{ - s} ds}\]
## Plotly inside Authorea documents
One important new feature of Authorea is that it now allows seamless and easy inclusion of Plotly graphs, like the one in Figures 1 and 2. The graph below (Figure 2), for example, plots each combination of available points against one another, as explained in [this IPython Notebook](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/fonnesbeck/8495259) by [Christopher Fonnesbeck](http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/wiki/Main/ChrisFonnesbeck). As for the previous plot, don't miss the interactive component of this graphic: hover, drag and click your mouse over the data to play with it. For more bubble charts, you can see [this IPython Notebook](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/plotly/IPython-plotly/blob/master/Bubble%20Chart%20Explorer.ipynb) or a [post](http://blog.plot.ly/post/71637573256/the-power-of-bubble-charts) on showing multiple dimensions with a bubble chart.
