I know this issue was not correctly formatted, but is there any way to make a plot non-interactive when plotting in Jupyter? I have the same issue where interactive 3D plots take up a lot of memory, with the memory increasing if I repeatedly plot the same figure, to the point of filling my entire RAM (similar to #487 )

Hi - we are trying to tidy up the stale issues and PRs in Plotly's public repositories so that we can focus on things that are still important to our community. Since this one has been sitting for a while, I'm going to close it; if it is still a concern, please add a comment letting us know what recent version of our software you've checked it with so that I can reopen it and add it to our backlog. Alternatively, if it's a request for tech support, please post in our community forum. Thank you - @gvwilson
