I’d like to create simple plolty graphs in python for my two PCs. It’s simple graph of program runs vs time (hourly) on each PC. I’d like those graphs to have a common x axis, to easily compare data between PCs when mouse hovers over the chart.
How do I do this? Is there a tutorial I can follow? I couldn’t find anything on the tutorials site.
Also I’ve linked that to same question on StackOverflow:

@hubert Here is an example of plot with left and right yaxis: [https://plot.ly/~empet/14349](https://plot.ly/~empet/14349)

@empet I think that vou’ve missed my point here. I do not want to have two sets of data on one plot (as I want to present data for different machines). I need one y axis over another.
The difference between my attempt and two separate plots, is jost one: when I hoover over one point on plot (eg.x=500, y=300), it will show me data on both plots. Please look on graphics on StackOverflow link

@hubert I don’t understand precisely what you want.
1. Do you want two subplots in one column as the plots posted on stackoverflow with a shared xaxis?
If this is the case you should define:
With such a definition you cannot display tooltips on both subplots simultaneously. When you hover over one subplot only information in that subplot is displayed.
2)What to do mean by “_one y axis over another_”? Both yaxes on the left side of the plot?
The only solution at the moment is to insert the two plots on the same window as in the example I posted. Obviously instead of bars and line in my plot you should insert your lines.

Yep, what i needed was subplots with shared xaxes, thank you @empet for support and help 🙂
