What

  • Corrects the plotly.js version in the Charts docs: the reference guides said 1.47.4, but Charts has shipped plotly.js 3.x since v6.0.0. Fixed across the Mendix 9, 10, and 11 guides.
  • Removes the Plotly Images REST endpoint how-to. The api.plot.ly/v2/images service no longer exists, so the page can't be followed.

Why

The version claim predates two plotly major releases and was reported by a customer. Charts 6.0.0 runs on Mendix 9.6+, so the wrong version was live on every supported guide.

The docs now name the major version and point to the Marketplace listing for the exact one, so this won't drift again. The retired page's URLs are kept as aliases, so old links redirect rather than 404.

The reference guides stated Charts is based on plotly.js 1.47.4. The
widget has shipped plotly.js 3.x since Charts 6.0.0 (2025-02-28), and
Charts 6.0.0 installs on Mendix 9.6 and above, so the claim was wrong on
refguide9, refguide10, and refguide alike.

Name the major version and the release that introduced it, and point to
the Marketplace listing for the exact patch version rather than pinning
one that drifts.
The Plotly API images endpoint at api.plot.ly/v2/images no longer exists,
so the entire how-to documented a workflow no reader can complete.

Delete the page and its 13 screenshots, and remove the inbound link from
the Charts hub page. Both retired URLs are preserved as Hugo aliases on
the hub page so neither returns a 404.
