12a. Matplotlib to Plotly (errorbar)

This example converts a matplotlib figure to Plotly.

Warning

A known bug in Plotly (see GitHub issue) causes the mpl_to_plotly() function to fail because it references an outdated function from Matplotlib. The current fix is to downgrade to an older version of Matplotlib or to recreate your figure in Plotly manually.

[ISSUE]: https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/issues/3624#issuecomment-1161805210 In the latest commit of plotly packages/python/plotly/plotly/matplotlylib/mpltools.py line 368, it still calls is_frame_like() function.
