Mapping data to subplots ("faceting") as in theMoved this one to the Python layer in plotly.express withcreate_facet_gridfigure factory: https://plot.ly/python/facet-plots/facet_rowandfacet_col

Added some technical notes on

There doesn't seem to be any JS support for it, and it would be a nice complement to SPLOM and ParCoords ;)

on Jul 27, 2018 Some nice progress recently in adding plotly.js trace types to the online chart editor (https://plot.ly/create/):
Very easy way to try out these chart types before coding.

NEEDS SPON$ORA community PR for this feature would certainly be welcome, but our experience is deeper features like this are difficult to complete without the Plotly maintainers leading the effort.
Sponsorship range: $25k-$30k (per new chart type)
What Sponsorship includes:
- Completion of this feature to the Sponsor's satisfaction, in a manner coherent with the rest of the Plotly.js library and API
- Tests for this feature
- Long-term support (continued support of this feature in the latest version of Plotly.js)
- Documentation at plotly.com/javascript
- Possibility of integrating this feature with Plotly Graphing Libraries (Python, R, F#, Julia, MATLAB, etc)
- Possibility of integrating this feature with Dash
- Feature announcement on community.plotly.com with shout out to Sponsor (or can remain anonymous)
- Gratification of advancing the world's most downloaded, interactive scientific graphing libraries (>50M downloads across supported languages)
Please include the link to this issue when contacting us to discuss.
Are there any plans to make Gantt available for js?
Reacted by Alejandra De Luna and Adam HamrickFollowing up on this, Gantt charts would be a great addition to Plotly.js.
Indicator Traces are missing from Chart Studio. Please add 🙏🏼
What about adding support for 2D/3D Network Graphs in Plotly JS? Currently available in Python...

closing as most of these requests are covered by other issues

The most requested feature in the plotly user survey has been "More chart types" 2 years in a row.
This issue inventories remaining chart types (or "traces" in plotly parlance) that are still requested for plotly.js and Chart Studio. Pipelines to make most of these charts already exists in Python and R by combining lower level plotly.js traces (lines, SVG shapes, bars, area fills, etc).
