Description

Hello,

Currently the ploy.ly MATLAB Setup does some nasty things:

  1. Copy Plot.Ly into MATAB Toolbox folder.
  2. Put files into User Folder.

I propose much simpler way and a portable way - Use only the folder plotly was copied into.
Only add that folder to MATLAB Path (If user wants that).

All can be done easily by changing few lines.

Thank You.

Research direction

Locate the MATLAB Setup code responsible for copying Plotly into the MATLAB Toolbox and User folders. Read how it currently installs files and manages the MATLAB path; done means installation uses only the copied Plotly folder, with adding that folder to the MATLAB path left optional. No specific test is named, so verify the installation behavior manually.
