r ggplot2 plotly R

Could someone explain Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy... I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I'm trying to create an interactive plot using `plotly` with a ggplot2 object, but I keep working with the behavior: `behavior in grid.Call(C_palette, palette) : unable to find palette`. I have both `ggplot2` and `plotly` packages installed and running R version 4.2.1. Here's the code I wrote to create the ggplot first: ```r library(ggplot2) df <- data.frame(x = rnorm(100), y = rnorm(100)) gg_plot <- ggplot(df, aes(x = x, y = y)) + geom_point() + ggtitle("Scatter Plot") ``` Then I try to convert it to a plotly object: ```r library(plotly) plotly_plot <- ggplotly(gg_plot) ``` However, whenever I run that code, I get the palette behavior. I’ve checked to ensure that both libraries are loaded and updated to the latest versions. I’ve also tried saving the ggplot object to a variable and calling `ggplotly()` on it again, but I still get the same behavior. Are there any specific configurations or options I should look into? Is there a compatibility scenario I might be missing between the versions of these packages? Any help would be appreciated! My development environment is Ubuntu. For context: I'm using R on Windows 11. For reference, this is a production CLI tool. Could someone point me to the right documentation? The stack includes R and several other technologies. I'm open to any suggestions.
