Description
The {ggstar} package provides useful additional shapes in ggplots with the geom_star function. If support for this could be added within ggplotly, that would be very useful.
Minimal reprex:
mtcars %>%
ggplot(aes(x=qsec, y=mpg)) +
geom_point() +
geom_star(data=mtcars[mtcars$mpg==max(mtcars$mpg),], #Add star at highest mpg value
aes(x=qsec, y=mpg),
color="black", fill="yellow", size=8, alpha=1)
