Answer 1

Since

• plotly can be viewed in your browser, and
• this answer says you can embed a 'full-blown chromium browser' in Tkinter,

I imagine it's possible to present an interactive plotly graph in an embedded browser in Tktinter.

If I get a working example I'll post it here.

Answer 2

According to: https://plotly.com/python/renderers/ The available plotly renderers are:

 ['plotly_mimetype', 'jupyterlab', 'nteract', 'vscode',
 'notebook', 'notebook_connected', 'kaggle', 'azure', 'colab',
 'cocalc', 'databricks', 'json', 'png', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'svg',
 'pdf', 'browser', 'firefox', 'chrome', 'chromium', 'iframe',
 'iframe_connected', 'sphinx_gallery']

This means that it is not possible to have tkinter directly handle plotly user interactive events. The closest to what you want would hence be to generate a non interactive plotly rendering eg a png/jpg and display it in a tkinter canvas. At least canvas would allow to pan/scan and zoom. Another alternative would be to open a web browser from the tkinter app but this means user will not directly interact with the original tkinter application.
