**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) [Plotly 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](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 LaTeX, images, and graphs. Importantly, Authorea now allows seamless and easy inclusion of Plot.ly Plotly  graphs. Here's how. ## Plotly inside Authorea documents  Below is a graph re-made with data from UC Berkeley [stats page](http://www.stat.ubc.ca/~jenny/notOcto/STAT545A/examples/gapminder/data/gapminderDataFiveYear.txt), which plays a central role in Hans Rosling's [Ted Talks](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVimVzgtD6w). You can also see a similar graph in [this IPython Notebook](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/plotly/IPython-plotly/blob/master/Bubble%20Chart%20Explorer.ipynb) or lrean more in this [post](http://blog.plot.ly/post/71637573256/the-power-of-bubble-charts) on bubble charts.
