Description

Hi,

First of all, thanks for this great package.
I am creating a R package to create custom plotly plots, and would like to include unit tests within this package. In this context, I was wondering if it would be possible to export the expect_doppelganger function included within the package (or the write_plotly_svg function)?
That would greatly facilitate the testing of any R visualization package depending on plotly.
Thanks in advance!

Research direction

Review tests/testthat/helper-vdiffr.R, focusing on expect_doppelganger and write_plotly_svg and how they are currently used. Decide which helper should become part of the package interface, expose it for dependent R visualization packages, and verify that the existing plot comparison workflow still works.
