Missing executeAPICommand in `exports.Plots`

Bug: I Upgraded Plotly to v2.2.0 and noticed the Plotly.Plots.executeAPICommand handler was no longer in the latest version.

As a User I’d like to see executeAPICommand returned to exports.Plots. This allows one to control multiple plots via a single Event.

File: dist/plotly.js Line: 155701

Is:

exports.Plots = {
    resize: Plots.resize,
    graphJson: Plots.graphJson,
    sendDataToCloud: Plots.sendDataToCloud,
};

Fix:

exports.Plots = {
    resize: Plots.resize,
    graphJson: Plots.graphJson,
    sendDataToCloud: Plots.sendDataToCloud,
    executeAPICommand: Plots.executeAPICommand
};

Example: try to execute Plotly.Plots.executeAPICommand(gd, method, args) to control a sibling Plot and notice the function is missing from the exports.Plots Object.

Great call. That works the same. I appreciate you looking into it.

I see. If you’re explicitly calling executeAPICommand like that, can you call the method directly? ie change:

Plotly.Plots.executeAPICommand(Plot2.current.el, step.method, step.args);

to:

Plotly[step.method](Plot2.current.el, ...step.args);
