Matching a theme

You may already have a theme for your plots that you would like to replicate in plotly. For example, you may prefer your time series plots to have:

  • Only horizontal grid lines
  • A light gray background (#ebebeb) around your plot

In this exercise, your task is to adapt the time series plot of global video game sales from 1980 to 2016 so that it meets these requirements.

Note that plotly has been loaded for you.
