I am trying to draw a subplot that contains 2 plots. Each inner plots have two y-axis and two x-axis. I also want to match each y label with his lines color.
First I want to start with a simple example. Consider following code
library(plotly)
library(dplyr)
p1 <- economics %>% plot_ly()%>%
add_trace( x = ~date, y = ~unemploy,yaxis='y1',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers")%>%
add_trace(x = ~date, y = ~uempmed,yaxis='y2',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers") %>%
layout( yaxis2 = list(overlaying = "y1",side = "right"))
p2<-p1
>p1
The output:
subplot(p1, p2 , nrows = 2 , shareX = TRUE)
The output:
So the subplot does not work fine. How to fix it?
EDIT:
With a little change to the code as shown below and it work!
R code
library(plotly)
library(dplyr)
p1 <- economics %>% plot_ly()%>%
add_trace( x = ~date, y =~unemploy,yaxis='y',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers")%>%
add_trace(x = ~date, y = ~uempmed,yaxis='y2',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers") %>%
layout( yaxis = list(side = "left"),yaxis2 = list(overlaying = "y",side = "right"))
p2<-economics %>% plot_ly()%>%
add_trace( x = ~date, y = ~unemploy,yaxis='y',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers")%>%
add_trace(x = ~date, y = ~uempmed,yaxis='y2',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers") %>%
layout(yaxis = list(side = "left"), yaxis2 = list(overlaying = "y3",side = "right"))
subplot(p1,p2,nrows=2)
The output now is as follows:
To extend for have 3 plots:
library(plotly)
library(dplyr)
p1 <- economics %>% plot_ly()%>%
add_trace( x = ~date, y = ~unemploy,yaxis='y',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers")%>%
add_trace(x = ~date, y = ~uempmed,yaxis='y2',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers") %>%
layout( yaxis = list(side = "left"),yaxis2 = list(overlaying = "y",side = "right"))
p2<-economics %>% plot_ly()%>%
add_trace( x = ~date, y = ~unemploy,yaxis='y',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers")%>%
add_trace(x = ~date, y = ~uempmed,yaxis='y2',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers") %>%
layout(yaxis = list(side = "left"), yaxis2 = list(overlaying = "y3",side = "right"))
p3<-economics %>% plot_ly()%>%
add_trace( x = ~date, y = ~unemploy,yaxis='y',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers")%>%
add_trace(x = ~date, y = ~uempmed,yaxis='y2',type='scatter',mode="lines+markers") %>%
layout(yaxis = list(side = "left"), yaxis2 = list(overlaying = "y5",side = "right"))
subplot(p1,p2,p3,nrows=3)
The output:
