Add interactive plot output

Similar to creating interactive tables, you can easily turn a static plot created using ggplot2 into an interactive plot using the plotly package. To render an interactive plot, use plotly::renderPlotly(), and display it using plotly::plotlyOutput().

Remember that just like with other render functions, the code inside plotly::renderPlotly() should be wrapped in curly braces {}!
