Learning about the different ways of using scatter plots: markers, lines, and text

We have a number of different options when using graph_objects to create scatter plots, as mentioned in the introduction, so we will be exploring it together with Plotly Express. To give you an idea of the versatility of the available scatter plots, the following code extracts all the scatter methods available to the Figure object, as well as those available in Plotly Express:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import plotly.express as px
fig = go.Figure()
[f for f in dir(fig) if 'scatter' in f]
['add_scatter',
 'add_scatter3d',
 'add_scattercarpet',
 'add_scattergeo',
 'add_scattergl',
 'add_scattermapbox',
 'add_scatterpolar',
 'add_scatterpolargl',
 'add_scatterternary']
[f for f in dir(px) if 'scatter' in f]
['scatter',
 'scatter_3d',
 'scatter_geo',
