Dynamically theme plots using a state variable

[MattTheCuber]

When creating Plotly figures, you can specify the theme using the argument go.Figure(layout={"template": "plotly_dark"}). However, this is not dynamic and you must generate a new plot to update the plot's theme.

Is it be possible to specify the theme dynamically by using something like plotly.Figure(figure=fig, layout=("plotly_theme", {"template": "plotly_dark"})). This does not currently work (or even run), I tried multiple ways for dynamic theming.

Hi Matthew, I can probably come up with some logic to enable it. It will probably take a day of work to get things right. So far on your contract you still have ~14h available. Do you want me to go ahead to start working on it? Thanks, Seb

Oh, no that is fine. I was just expecting that we were using the incorrect arguments. We will continue updating the figures manually using .update_figure().

Roger that. Thanks for letting me know.
