#### `plotly.figure_factory`

The `plotly.figure_factory` module contains dedicated functions for creating very specific types of plots that were at the time of their creation difficult to create with `plotly.graph_objects` and prior to the existence of [Plotly Express](/python/plotly-express/). As new functionality gets added to [Plotly.js](https://plotly.com/javascript/) and to Plotly Express, certain Figure Factories become unecessary and are therefore deprecated as "legacy", but remain in the module for backwards-compatibility reasons.

The following types of plots are still difficult to create with Graph Objects or Plotly Express and therefore the corresponding Figure Factories are *not* deprecated:

* [Annotated Heatmaps](/python/annotated-heatmap/)
* [Dendrograms](/python/dendrogram/)
* [Gantt Charts](/python/gantt/)
* [Quiver Plots](/python/quiver-plots/)
* [Streamline Plots](/python/streamline-plots/)
* [Tables](/python/figure-factory-table/)
