Description
Hi,
Would it be possible to add a download data button? Right now the default's option is a png image of the plot but I think it'd be very nice if one could also download the data inside the graph. Thus having a download data in graph button would be really cool.
It'd be a new button in here:
https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/2ba7bdf30d605794de42d560cab41ebbc8681d29/src/components/modebar/buttons.js
I am not familiar with JS so it's hard for me to make a pull request on this but I do think it'd be a great option.
