• I have read through the contributing notes and understand the structure of the package. In particular, if my PR modifies code of plotly.graph_objects, my modifications concern the code generator and not the generated files.
• I have added tests or modified existing tests.
• For a new feature, I have added documentation examples (please see the doc checklist as well).
• I have added a CHANGELOG entry if changing anything substantial.
• For a new feature or a change in behavior, I have updated the relevant docstrings in the code.
