I have set the static value just for testing, but I want to have dynamic values there. Also, I have defined variables for each parameter. How can I access those variables in the javascript code below?

I have tried passing something like this, but didn’t work:  
upperfence: [‘$upperfence’]

Hi @abhinavanandpnbe

I checked about this plugin and it seems to be a community plugin as described on the plugin [page](https://grafana.com/grafana/plugins/ae3e-plotly-panel/) (that means, it is not maintained by us).

I see that they provide some examples of using variables and also on their official GitHub [page](https://github.com/ae3e/ae3e-plotly-panel) under issues, can search for variable-related questions.

I hope this is helpful.
