Plotly: How to add borders and sidelabels to subplots, and syncronize panning?

Question

The following graph is my attempt to use Plotly in Python (code at the very bottom) to do 2x2 plot.

I am trying to improve the graph but I can\'t seem to do the fol

Answer 1

Here's a suggestion that should be very close to 100%, at least regarding what's actually possible at the moment:

1. Subplot borders: fig_update_xaxes(mirror=True)

2. You're already as close as you're going to get at the moment

3. Sidelabels: fig['layout']['xaxis']['title']='Label x-axis 1'

Plot:

Code:

#import plotly.offline as poff
#import plotly.tools as tls

from plotly.subplots import make_subplots
import plotly.graph_objects as go
import pandas as pd

x = list(range(10,20))
y = x
y1 = [10-i for i in x]
y2 = [abs(i-5) for i in x]
y3 = [abs(2*i- 5) for i in x]

fig = make_subplots(rows=2, cols=2, shared_xaxes=True, shared_yaxes=True,
                    #vertical_spacing=0.1,
                    #horizontal_spacing=0.05,
                    print_grid=True,)

fig.append_trace(go.Scatter({'x':x, 'y':y, 'name':'A1'},), 1, 1)
fig.append_trace(go.Scatter({'x':x, 'y':y1, 'name':'B2'},), 2, 2)
fig.append_trace(go.Scatter({'x':x, 'y':y2, 'name':'A2'},), 2, 1)
fig.append_trace(go.Scatter({'x':x, 'y':y3, 'name':'B1'},), 1, 2)

fig['layout'].update(title='Multiple Subplots')

fig.update_xaxes(showline=True, linewidth=1, linecolor='black', mirror=True)
fig.update_yaxes(showline=True, linewidth=1, linecolor='black', mirror=True)

# edit axis labels
fig['layout']['xaxis']['title']='Label x-axis 1'
fig['layout']['xaxis2']['title']='Label x-axis 2'

fig['layout']['xaxis3']['title']='Label x-axis 3'
fig['layout']['xaxis4']['title']='Label x-axis 4'

fig['layout']['yaxis']['title']='Label y-axis 1'
fig['layout']['yaxis2']['title']='Label y-axis 2'

fig['layout']['yaxis3']['title']='Label x-axis 3'
fig['layout']['yaxis4']['title']='Label x-axis 4'

fig.show()
