In plotly (python) - is it possible to put subplots inside subplots

Question

In plotly (python) - Is it possible to create custom/subplots inside other subplots?

Otherwise, if I want to add some custom text/annotation over my subplots - can it be done?

Answer 1

While it DOES seem intuitive for anyone coming from QT or the WEB (HTML), or any other application layout scheme (Android/WPA/...) that you can create recursive subplots inside other subplots, plotly works in somewhat different way:

There is one "sub"-plot which you need to define up front types/columns/rows - which can be a bit annoying at first, but is flexible enough to hold any grid like structure, supporting flexible cell/row spanning, but there's a learning curve...

The way to start is to look at their subplot examples here: https://plotly.com/python/mixed-subplots/
