How to add a scattergap between X and Y categorical axes

[maxwin]

Hi there, I am plotting 2d categorical data as a px.scatter graph, and am using scattergap=0.75 to add some separation between overlapping data points, however this gap is only applied to the x-axis. Is there a way to add the separation in both x and y dimensions?

Example code:

import random
import plotly.express as px

x_categories = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']
y_categories = ['X', 'Y', 'Z']

plot_data = []

for i in range(30):
    plot_data.append(dict(
        x=random.sample(x_categories, 1)[0],
        y=random.sample(y_categories, 1)[0],
        i=str(i),
    ))

fig = px.scatter(plot_data, x='x', y='y', color='i')

fig.update_layout(scattermode='group', scattergap=0.75)
