Charting Samples Do Not Work

[Eddie-Hartman]

Describe the bug

The XPlot.Plotly sample here does not work: https://github.com/dotnet/interactive/blob/main/samples/notebooks/csharp/Docs/Plotting-with-Xplot.ipynb

It just outputs an object instead of a chart.

Generally speaking, I'm looking for the up to date simple charting solution for interactive notebooks. I was using them pretty early when they came out, and it seems like the libraries keep changing or getting more complicated. I want to be able to do simple bar, line, pie, etc type charts. SandDance seems cool, but where is the documentation on how to actually use it? Each time I make a chart, it resets my X and Y axis settings. How do I specify what I want as my actual axis?

Old examples are outdated and links are broken: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/net-interactive-is-here-net-notebooks-preview-2/ and I understand how that happens, but coming here the samples also don't work, so what is a stable supported simple charting library with decent C# documentation to use?

Please complete the following:
