Description

I would like to animate my stacked area chart when the data updates (so the transition from the old data to the new data is smooth). Right now, when the data updates the chart just instantly changes to reflect the new data.

I don't see an animate function on the Plotly react component or its prototype. What is the best way to go about animating these charts? Is this possible?

Thanks
