 ### Added
 
 - Added `disabled` prop to `Radio`  #425  by @namakshenas

+- Added the `add_figure_templates()` function which creates Mantine-styled Plotly figure templates for
+both light and dark modes using the default Mantine theme.  It registers the templates with plotly.io.templates as
+"mantine_light" and "mantine_dark", and optionally sets one of the themes as a default. #431 by @AnnMarie
+
 - Added various props: `acceptValueOnBlur` to `TagsInput`, `gradient` to `LineChart`, `hideWithOnePage` to `Pagination`, `name` to `Avatar`, and `disabled` to `NumberInput`. #440 by @AnnMarieW
+
 - Added `SemiCircleProgress` component #434 by @AnnMarieW

+def add_figure_templates(default=None):
+
+    """
+    Create and register Plotly figure templates styled to match the Mantine default theme.
+
+    This function generates two custom Plotly templates:
+    - "mantine_light" for light mode
+    - "mantine_dark" for dark mode
+
+    Templates are registered with `plotly.io.templates`, allowing you to apply them to Plotly figures
+    using the template names "mantine_light" or "mantine_dark". These templates include Mantine-inspired
+    color palettes, background colors, and other layout customizations.
+
+    Parameters:
+    - default (str): The default template to apply globally. Must be either "mantine_light" or "mantine_dark".
+                      If not set, the default Plotly template remains unchanged.
+
+    Returns:
+    - None: The templates are registered and optionally set as the default, but no value is returned.
