Embedding a plotly html figure

[dktanwar]

I am trying to embed a html figure into xaringan presentation:

1. This works perfectly fine

library(plotly)
p <- plot_ly(z = volcano, type = "heatmap")
p

Save the figure:

htmlwidgets::saveWidget(p, paste0("p.html"))

2. This does not work at all"

htmltools::knit_print.html("p.html")

Not even this:

htmltools::knit_print.shiny.tag("p.html")

The saved htmlwidget is a complete html file with its own , sections etc, while print(p) will produce a

section in the slides. My suggestion is to stick with method 1.

If you feel like to save the plot, save it as a normal R object using:

save(p, file ="p.rda")

and load & redraw it later, using

library(plotly)
load("p.rda")
p

After trying a lot of options, I wonder if there is any option for it yet.
