Research direction

Start by reviewing existing geom implementations in plotly.R and how ggpath supplies SVG images to ggplot. Determine the integration point needed for geom_GeomFromPath(), then verify that SVG images embedded through ggpath render correctly in plotly.

Description

Hi,
I'm embedding several SVG images in a ggplot, which I do via ggpath, but this is unsupported in plotly.
Please, can you implement geom_GeomFromPath?
