+### What About Dash?
+
+[Dash for R](https://dashr.plot.ly/) is an open-source framework for building analytical applications, with no Javascript required, and it is tightly integrated with the Plotly graphing library. 
+
+Learn about how to install Dash for R at https://dashr.plot.ly/installation.
+
+Everywhere in this page that you see `fig`, you can display the same figure in a Dash for R application by passing it to the `figure` argument of the [`Graph` component](https://dashr.plot.ly/dash-core-components/graph) from the built-in `dashCoreComponents` package like this:
+
+```{r eval=FALSE}
+library(plotly)
+
+fig <- plot_ly() 
+# fig <- fig %>% add_trace( ... )
+# fig <- fig %>% layout( ... ) 
+
+library(dash)
+library(dashCoreComponents)
+library(dashHtmlComponents)
+
+app <- Dash$new()
+app$layout(
+    htmlDiv(
+        list(
+            dccGraph(figure=fig) 
+        )
+     )
+)
+
+app$run_server(debug=TRUE, dev_tools_hot_reload=FALSE)
+```
