Plotly - Create publication quality graphs, all in your web browser!
------
Plotly (https://plot.ly) is a browser-based data analysis and visualization tool that creates interactive, customizable, publication quality figures.

This API allows MATLAB users to generate Plotly graphs from their desktop MATLAB environment. 

All graphs can be styled and shared through Plotly's interactive web application.
To use, simply:
1) sign-up, 
2) sign-in,
3) call: >> plotly(x,y) with your data, 
4) View, style and share your plot in your browser at Plotly (https://plot.ly)
