+Generate a plotly plot with the given data and arguments.
+Parameters:
+  - `data::Union{Symbol,AbstractString}`: name of the field that holds the plot data
+  - `layout::Union{Symbol,AbstractString,LayoutType}`: The layout of the plot. Default: `Charts.PlotLayout()`
+  - `config::Union{Symbol,AbstractString,Nothing,ConfigType}`: The configuration of the plot. Default: `nothing`
+  - `configtype::ConfigType`: The type of the configuration. Default: `Charts.PlotConfig`
+  - `syncevents::Bool`: Whether to sync events. Default: `false`
+  - `syncprefix::String`: Syncing is controlled via the class attribute of the plot. If left empty, the class is derived from the data name.
+  - `class::String`: additional class attribute for the plot
+  - `args`: further custom arguments
+  - `kwargs`: further custom keyword arguments
+
+Forwarding plotly events is achieved by setting `syncevents` to `true` or by providing a `syncprefix`.
+Model fields that the events are forwarded to are derived from the `syncprefix` and the event type, e.g. `syncprefix = "myplot"` will forward the `plotly_selected` event to the `myplot_selected` model field.
+The most common event types are `plotly_selected`, `plotly_hover`, `plotly_click`, and `plotly_relayout`, which can be included in the model via `@mixin myplot::PBPlotWithEvents`.
+
+An example of event forwarding can be found in the docstring of StipplePlotly.
