React-Plotly Might be abandoned

[ANeaves]

The React Plotly library used for graphing has not received an update on the github in around 2-3 years. This might indicate that it's abandoned, and that future updates may eventually break it if it's not receiving any maintence.

Might be worth looking into alternative graphing libraries that can support the OdinGraph Component.

React Plotly is a thin React wrapper around the original Plotly project. The core project is still receiving regular updates, so while the React Plotly libarry itself is not receiving updates, the actual library used is not abandoned.

It may, however, still be worth considering migrating to a React specific graphing library at some point, for easier integration into projects. Using Plotly means importing the entire Plotly.js library for Odin Graph, which is a sizeable library that we only use a fraction of.
