plot_mapbox: Initiate a plotly-mapbox object

In plotly: Create Interactive Web Graphics via 'plotly.js'

Initiate a plotly-mapbox object

Description

Use this function instead of plot_ly() to initialize a plotly-mapbox object. This enforces the entire plot so use the scattermapbox trace type, and enables higher level geometries like add_polygons() to work

Usage

plot_mapbox(data = data.frame(), ...)

Arguments

data	A data frame (optional).
...	arguments passed along to plot_ly(). They should be valid scattermapbox attributes - https://plotly.com/r/reference/#scattermapbox. Note that x/y can also be used in place of lat/lon.
