Description
Hi Plotly developer,
a=ggplot(new_to_plot, aes(x=days, y=value,color = cohort)) +
geom_errorbar(aes(ymin=value-se, ymax=value+se), width=.1,position=pd) +
geom_line(position=pd) +
geom_point(size=2) + xlab(xlabel)+ylab(ylabel)+ggtitle(title)
ggplotly(a)
The legend only shows characters without any lines or points and error bars. Please advise

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided R example with ggplotly(a), focusing on the legend generated for geom_errorbar, geom_line, and geom_point. No source file or test is named; done means the legend displays the corresponding lines, points, and error bars rather than characters alone, with a regression check added where the existing project tests this conversion.
