Possible to make a scatter plot with margin histograms?

plotly.js

I’ve been trying to find some examples of this using plotly, but no luck so far. Would this be possible to do either using python, R or the JS plotly libraries?

Yes. Here’s an example https://plot.ly/~PlotBot/95.embed

JS code: https://plot.ly/~PlotBot/95.js

Hi Etiene… I am finding it very difficult to position a marginal graph on top of the main graph, as shown below.

In this example I made two different graphs. The histogram at the top and the scatter at the bottom. Is there a way to combine the two into one?

Does plotly subplots do what you need?

Hi David. Thank’s for your help.

I believe that my need is more related to a marginal distribution https://plotly.com/python/marginal-plots/. However, I only found this solution in Python, not in JavaScript (Plotly JS).

Yes, I see your issue. This post by @AIMPED is also, strictly speaking a plotly Python one, but I wonder if it might give you a way forward:
