Alex added support for SVG shapes... including rectangles, so we should be able to support ggplot2 figures like many of these now:

https://www.google.com/search?q=geom_rect&espv=2&biw=1208&bih=746&site=webhp&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ

This has come up a lot from cloud and Enterprise users, so excited to finally cross this off the checklist.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18155165/add-new-item-to-ggplot2-legend

I looked through the ggplotly examples for some rects, and I found this

http://ropensci.github.io/plotly-test-table/tables/618456d6e5d71de59481c5b1681db793a77f26c3/polygons-dashed.html

which gets translated to this in plotly

https://plot.ly/~tdhock/397

which are traces of mode "lines" with fill "tozerox"

I noticed that the new plotly "shapes" are not implemented as traces, so in fact we have a design choice to make. Do we implement geom_rect as plotly "lines" or as plotly "shapes" ?

Are there speed advantages to one or the other? Is there some advantage for the user in terms of interpreting the data?

Sure, that works to an extent. It's a little hacky, depending on us interpreting fill to zero in a particular way that we might not always want to do. I'm also surprised that this didn't trigger autoscale to zero too... but we could always add a fill mode like "toself" tailored for this, perhaps even supporting multiple polygons in a single trace.

And you're right to think about speed - if you get a lot of rectangles, traces will probably be faster, especially during dragged zooms/pans when the whole trace area just gets stretched but shapes and annotations get redrawn on every mousemove.

The biggest thing you miss with traces is paper-referenced and mixed-reference shapes. For example if you want to shade a particular x range, but have the whole y range covered no matter how you zoom (as with geom_tallrect from animint), and without affecting autorange in y. Something like:
http://support.sas.com/kb/42/addl/fusion_42893_2_g42893.png
Then you'd make a shape like:
{x0: '2007-10', x1: '2009-05', y0: 0, y1: 1, xref: 'x', yref: 'paper'}

                      I looked through the ggplotly examples for some rects, and I found this
                      http://ropensci.github.io/plotly-test-table/tables/618456d6e5d71de59481c5b1681db793a77f26c3/polygons-dashed.html
                      which gets translated to this in plotly
                      https://plot.ly/~tdhock/397
                      which are traces of mode "lines" with fill "tozerox"
                      I noticed that the new plotly "shapes" are not implemented as traces, so in fact we have a design choice to make. Do we implement geom_rect as plotly "lines" or as plotly "shapes" ?
                      Are there speed advantages to one or the other? Is there some advantage for the user in terms of interpreting the data?
                      Sure, that works to an extent. It's a little hacky, depending on us interpreting fill to zero in a particular way that we might not always want to do. I'm also surprised that this didn't trigger autoscale to zero too... but we could always add a fill mode like "toself" tailored for this, perhaps even supporting multiple polygons in a single trace.
                      And you're right to think about speed - if you get a lot of rectangles, traces will probably be faster, especially during dragged zooms/pans when the whole trace area just gets stretched but shapes and annotations get redrawn on every mousemove.
                      The biggest thing you miss with traces is paper-referenced and mixed-reference shapes. For example if you want to shade a particular x range, but have the whole y range covered no matter how you zoom (as with geom_tallrect from animint), and without affecting autorange in y. Something like:
