Insets - Plotly Py — ContextQMD

New to Plotly?

Plotly's Python library is free and open source! Get started by downloading the client and reading the primer.

You can set up Plotly to work in online or offline mode, or in jupyter notebooks.

We also have a quick-reference cheatsheet (new!) to help you get started!

Simple Inset Graph

python

import plotly.plotly as py
import plotly.graph_objs as go

trace1 = go.Scatter(
    x=[1, 2, 3],
    y=[4, 3, 2]
)
trace2 = go.Scatter(
    x=[20, 30, 40],
    y=[30, 40, 50],
    xaxis='x2',
    yaxis='y2'
)
data = [trace1, trace2]
layout = go.Layout(
    xaxis2=dict(
        domain=[0.6, 0.95],
        anchor='y2'
    ),
    yaxis2=dict(
        domain=[0.6, 0.95],
        anchor='x2'
    )
)
fig = go.Figure(data=data, layout=layout)
py.iplot(fig, filename='simple-inset')
