Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating plotly.R's existing handling for geom_step and ribbon layers, then compare it with the pammtools::geom_stepribbon example. Done should mean the minimal LakeHuron chart renders with the requested step ribbon in plotly.R.

Description

I have a chart where I use geom_steppribbon() which is part of the pammtools package. This geom has yet to be implemented in plotly.
I am happy to help with the implementation. However, I have not yet contributed to plotly and would need some help where to get started.

This would be a minimal example of a chart with geom_stepribbon:

library(ggplot2)
library(pammtools)

huron <- data.frame(year = 1875:1972, level = as.vector(LakeHuron))

ggplot(huron, aes(year)) +
pammtools::geom_stepribbon(aes(ymin = level - 1, ymax = level + 1)) +
geom_step(aes(y = level))

Thank you already for your help.

Best,
Leo
