+If you also have plotly installed, you can now use the plotly engine for all

+the plotting functions within Kwant (except streamplots). The way you would do

+it is simple, just set the plotter engine to ``plotly`` and then call the

+plotting function as you would do with some minor changes (See note below). For

+example, from the previous plot, you would need to just do this:

+

+.. jupyter-execute::

+

+    kwant.plotter.set_engine('plotly') # Set to plotly engine

+

+    kwant.plot(syst)

+

+    kwant.plotter.get_engine() # Get the current engine

+

+    kwant.plotter.set_engine('matplotlib') # Set to matplotlib engine

+

+.. note::

+

+    By default, the engine would be set to matplotlib if both matplotlib and

+    plotly are installed, and if either are installed, then, the default would

+    be the one available in your system. Certain attributes such as dpi or

+    fig_size or ax are not supported.

 Also for 3D it is possible to customize the plot. For example, we

 can explicitly plot the hoppings as lines, and color sites differently

 depending on the sublattice:
