Hi,

I was wondering if it’s possible to create a plot with 3 subplots arranged vertically ([https://plot.ly/python/subplots/](https://plot.ly/python/subplots/)) that have a shared x-axis, along with a range slider that controls the x-axis ([https://plot.ly/python/range-slider/](https://plot.ly/python/range-slider/))?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,  
Julian

Hi,

1. If 3 subplots are vertically arranged, they can share the X-axis like this -

2. After using a common X-axis, subplots can be added to the figure.

3. Then range slider can be enabled for the bottom subplot like this -

This range slider will be common and shared by all the subplots.

Cheers
