Better support for trellis displays

There are a few different ways to do a trellis display currently, but these are all a bit esoteric

one_plot <- function(d) {
  plot_ly(d, x = ~wt, y = ~mpg)
}

mtcars %>%
  group_by(vs) %>%
  do(plot = one_plot(.)) %>%
  subplot(nrows = NROW(.))

plot_ly(mtcars, x = ~wt, y = ~mpg, color = ~factor(vs), yaxis = ~paste0("y", vs + 1)) %>%
  subplot(nrows = 2)

plot_ly(mtcars, x = ~wt, y = ~mpg, split = ~factor(vs), yaxis = ~paste0("y", vs + 1)) %>%
  subplot(nrows = 2)

#726 implements a trellis argument, which essentially maps that variable to sensible trace anchors, then uses subplot()'s machinery to populate axis objects. The problem is, we have guarantee a subplot is returned if we want a sensible result for:

plot_ly(mtcars, x = ~wt, y = ~mpg, trellis = ~vs)

Thus, we lose the ability to specify the number of rows in that subplot

It'd be better to have trellis() function:

trellis <- function(p, formula, ...) {
  # do some stuff here
  subplot(p, ...)
}

Ideally, the trellising would work a lot like ggplot2 facets (trellising variables should not appear in legends, and appear as annotations instead). This is what we do in ggplotly() via clever use of showlegend and legendgroup.

Examinez d’abord l’argument trellis proposé dans #726 et le mécanisme subplot() existant. Une solution complète devrait fournir une fonction trellis() qui conserve le contrôle sur les lignes de subplot et prend en charge un comportement similaire à celui de ggplot2, notamment en gardant les variables de trellis en dehors des légendes et en les affichant sous forme d’annotations.
