Point Interpolation

[alxkp]

When moving between animation frames, there is an abrupt jump between each frame.

Describe the solution you'd like
Adding smaller jumps to interpolate there might be the most effective way to approach this.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Pygame or python arcade might work well to allow moving the points smoothly, although then one would lose all of the excellent features that come built in with plotly, and linking to other graphs would be much trickier.

Low priority, as this should be a feature of the underlying framework rather than something we implement ourselves. If plotly does not plan to offer this (check open issues there, maybe), we could perhaps have some basic functionality with a smoothness parameter that specifies number of interpolation steps or similar. The interpolation should take into account dot attributes (current and next position, size, color, or any other) to smooth the transition from a frame to the next.
