Hard coded axis names in Multiple Custom Subplots with Potly.js

plotly.js
1

Dear community member,

We are trying to use “Multiple Custom Sized Subplots with Potly.js Charts” and noticed that axis attached to the trace need to have values (x,y), ( x1, y1), … (xn, yn). This forces us to stick with the default names for he axis

For example for trace 3 in the link provided above
var trace3 = {
x: [1, 2],
y: [1, 2],
type: ‘scatter’,
name: ‘(1,2)’,
xaxis: ‘x3’,
yaxis: ‘y3’
};

if I change the name of the axis to x5, y5 as below then plot.ly fails to plot
var trace3 = {
x: [1, 2],
y: [1, 2],
type: ‘scatter’,
name: ‘(1,2)’,
xaxis: ‘x10’,
yaxis: ‘y10’
};

Is this the intended design? or am I understanding it wrong.

xaxis: 'x10' means link this trace x coordinates to the layout.xaxis10. So if your graph does not have a layout.xaxis10 yes it will indeed fail to plot.
