	Plots a figure in IPython, creates an HTML or generates an Image

	figure : figure
		Plotly figure to be charted
	validate : bool
		If True then all values are validated before 
		it is charted
	sharing : string
		Sets the sharing level permission
			public - anyone can see this chart
			private - only you can see this chart
			secret - only people with the link can see the chart
	filename : string
		Name to be used to save the file in the server, or as an image
	online : bool
		If True then the chart/image is rendered on the server 
		even when running in offline mode. 
	asImage : bool
			If True it returns an Image (png)
			In ONLINE mode:
				Image file is saved in the working directory				
					Accepts:
						filename
						dimensions
						scale
						display_image
			In OFFLINE mode:
				Image file is downloaded (downloads folder) and a 
				regular plotly chart is displayed in Jupyter
					Accepts:
						filename
						dimensions
	asUrl : bool
		If True the chart url/path is returned. No chart is displayed. 
			If Online : the URL is returned
			If Offline : the local path is returned
	asPlot : bool
		If True the chart opens in browser
	dimensions : tuple(int,int)
		Dimensions for image
			(width,height)		
	display_image : bool
		If true, then the image is displayed after it has been saved
		Requires Jupyter Notebook
		Only valid when asImage=True

	Other Kwargs
	============
		legend : bool
			If False then the legend will not be shown
		scale : integer
			Increase the resolution of the image by `scale` amount
			Only valid when asImage=True
