Hello everyone,

Plotly newbie here. I am trying to create a barplot in which the column facets all have different colours. So far I have succeeded by putting the different categories in the “color” option in px.bar as well as the “facet\_col” option. The problem with this is that the plotted bars aren’t aligned, but on different heights. If that doesn’t make any sense, please check the attached file with the barplot I am talking about.

I would like to have all three subplots in different colours AND at the same height. Could anyone please help me with this?

Greetings,  
Harm

This is the code I am using:

`cheng_grafiek=px.bar(cheng.sort_values(by=["Bron","Score"]),y="LAP naam",
                     x="Score",
                     color="Bron",
                     title="Vergelijking scores uit Cheng et al. (2019) en de risico-analyse afval",
                     barmode="group", 
                     orientation="h",
                     height=900,
                     facet_col="Bron",
                     #color_discrete_sequence=["blue","magenta","green"],
                     facet_col_spacing=0,
                     category_orders={"Bron": ["Cheng et al. (2019)", "Risico analyse (export)", "Risico analyse (import)"]})`

Alright, it was a simple solution. Boy, do I feel like an idiot… All I had to do was change “barmode” to “stack”.  
😑

Don’t tell anyone, okay???
