So I’m stuck trying to create a plot with multiple Sankey diagrams. Specifically, I keep getting an error that says “Invalid property specified for object of type plotly.graph_objs.Sankey: ‘xaxis’”. This seems to be invoked when the script gets to the append_trace command. Here is a simple example code:
import plotly.tools as tools
import plotly.offline as offline
import plotly.graph_objs as go
offline.init_notebook_mode(connected = True)
trace1 = go.Sankey(
node = dict(
pad = 15,
thickness = 20,
line = dict(
color = "black",
width = 0.5
),
label = ["Joe", "Molly", "Gavin", "Octavio", "Leslie", "Natasha"],
color = ["blue", "red", "green", "yellow", "brown", "magenta"]
),
link = dict(
source = [0,1,3],
target = [5,5,0],
value = [6,8,3]
)
)
trace2 = go.Sankey(
node = dict(
pad = 15,
thickness = 20,
line = dict(
color = "black",
width = 0.5
),
label = ["Russia", "Gambia", "Sweden", "Bolivia", "Timor-Leste", "Canada", "Bhutan"],
color = ["red", "black", "brown", "magenta", "yellow", "blue", "orange"]
),
link = dict(
source = [0,1,4,6],
target = [7,7,7,3],
value = [6,8,3,3]
)
)
data = [trace1, trace2]
layout = go.Layout(
title = "Basic Sankey Diagram",
font = dict(
size = 10
)
)
fig = tools.make_subplots(rows = 2, cols = 1)
fig.append_trace(trace1, 1, 1)
fig.append_trace(trace2, 1, 2)
fig['layout'].update(
title = "Basic Sankey Diagram with Two Subplots",
font = dict(
size = 10
)
)
offline.iplot(fig)
When I run it, I get the following traceback:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am NOT specifying ‘xaxis’ in my traces, so where the hell is this coming from? Seems like it’s this part:
/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/plotly/basedatatypes.py in _set_trace_grid_position(self, trace, row, col)
1259 "An axis object for ({r},{c}) subplot "
1260 “cell got deleted.”.format(r=row, c=col))
-> 1261 trace[‘xaxis’] = ref[0]
1262 trace[‘yaxis’] = ref[1]
Is this a bug? I have no idea.
Somebody help!
