Description

Largely figure factory has been incorporated into plotly.py -- there are some lingering charts which exist in ff but not in px. We should catalog those charts, decide whether we want to support them and migrated them to px or drop support and formally deprecate figure factory.

cc @alexcjohnson -- what do you think?

Research direction

Start by cataloging the charts available in figure factory (ff) but not Plotly Express (px). Review the issue's proposed support, migration, or deprecation alternatives and seek a decision before changing code. Done means the remaining charts have an explicit support plan and figure factory is either consolidated into px or formally deprecated.
