Scatter Plot Matrix (aka SPLOM) discussion

See original GitHub issue

SPLOMs are coming to plotly.js.

For the uninitiated, docs on the python api scatterplotmatrix figure factory are here. Seaborn calls it a pairplot. Matlab has plotmatrix draw function.

Some might say that SPLOMs are already part of plotly.js: all we have to do is generate traces for each combination of variables and plot them on an appropriate axis layout (example).

But, this technique has a few limitations and inconveniences:

data arrays are duplicated, which impacts performance when the number of variables and/or the data array lengths are large
creating the axes layout and correctly linking the scatter traces is tedious. Note that the python api exposes a few tools to make this smoother, but these aren’t available to plotly.js users.
…
feel free to edit and append this list

Numerous solutions are available. This issue will attempt to spec out the best one.
