Plotly: Grouped Bar Chart with multiple axes
11,575
Solution 1
I hope the code below, based on zoo example, will be self-explanatory, however you have to set yaxis
and offsetgroup
parameters in go.Bar()
object, and also yaxis2
parameter in layout
parameter of go.Figure()
object properly. The code is following:
import plotly.graph_objects as go
animals=['giraffes', 'orangutans', 'monkeys']
fig = go.Figure(
data=[
go.Bar(name='SF Zoo', x=animals, y=[200, 140, 210], yaxis='y', offsetgroup=1),
go.Bar(name='LA Zoo', x=animals, y=[12, 18, 29], yaxis='y2', offsetgroup=2)
],
layout={
'yaxis': {'title': 'SF Zoo axis'},
'yaxis2': {'title': 'LA Zoo axis', 'overlaying': 'y', 'side': 'right'}
}
)
# Change the bar mode
fig.update_layout(barmode='group')
fig.show()
The result looks like this:
Solution 2
For those coming across this post now, plotly now has a offsetgroup
attribute in bar graphs that solves this issue. Setting barmode='grouped'
still does not work.

When I set
barmode='group'
inLayout
whiletrace2 = Bar(...,yaxis='y2')
, this leads bars to be stacked or overlayed instead of grouping them. How can I group the bars while having multiple axes?I went over these but no avail:

iustin over 8 yearsI have the same issue, and I tested that it's broken in their web editor as well, so I filled github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/78. Not sure whether this applies to only some backends or not, but the JS component is the only one with a public bug tracker.
