I am trying to make something like a ruler graph for my application, representing the depth of a specific geological event (something like in the picture below) . It is just for depth reference that complements the rest of the graphs that are on display. Is this possible with Plotly? I have looked through the graph types but could not find an appropriate one. Any help will be appreciated.
Not sure. Maybe you can make use of colorbar component or indicator trace.
Yes, I looked through those two. I am not sure about the correct name of this plot. I was thinking of adapting the line plot, by throwing it out of range, so that you can only see the ticks, without the actual trace. This complemented with mirroring the y-axis, but not sure if this is going to work.
