## Quickstart

### Graph Objects

```
pip install plotly
```

```python
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure()
fig.add_trace(go.Bar(x=["a", "b", "c"], y=[1, 3, 2]))
fig.show()
```

### Plotly Express

```
pip install plotly[express]
```

```python
import plotly.express as px
fig = px.bar(x=["a", "b", "c"], y=[1, 3, 2])
fig.show()
```

You'll also need to install a [supported dataframe library](https://plotly.com/python/px-arguments/#supported-dataframe-types).

See the [Python documentation](https://plotly.com/python/) for more examples.
