Here is a minimal code to reproduce:
from plotly import tools
import plotly.graph_objs as go
import plotly
trace1 = go.Scatter(
x=[0, 1, 2],
y=[10, 11, 12]
)
trace2 = go.Scatter(
x=[2, 3, 4],
y=[100, 110, 120],
)
fig = tools.make_subplots(rows=5, cols=1, specs=[
[{'rowspan': 3}],
[None],
[None],
[{'rowspan': 2}],
[None],
],
shared_xaxes=True,
vertical_spacing=0.001)
fig.append_trace(trace1, 1, 1)
fig.append_trace(trace2, 4, 1)
fig['layout'].update(title='Stacked, Multirow Subplots with Shared X-Axes')
plotly.offline.plot(fig)
Result:
$ python test.py
This is the format of your plot grid:
[ (1,1) x1,y1 ]
|
|
[ (4,1) x1,y2 ]
|
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scratch.py", line 27, in <module>
fig.append_trace(trace1, 1, 1)
File "/home/user/.pyenv/versions/pypy/site-packages/plotly/graph_objs/graph_objs.py", line 1263, in append_trace
.format(r=row, c=col))
Exception: Something went wrong. An axis object for (1,1) subplot cell got deleted.
The code at graph_objs.py:1263 fails to get fig[βlayoutβ][βxaxis1β] which is not existent.
