Plotly.js Create Stacked And Grouped Bar Chart

How to create barchart on Plotly.js with grouped and stacked bars? I need structure like that: Barchart with stacked and grouped charts

Solution 1:

It is possible to create a grouped-and-stacked bar chart in Plotly.js by creating each group as a subplot. It's not as simple as setting a top-level feature like 'barmode': 'stacked+grouped' but because it's more elemental it offers more options.

See https://community.plot.ly/t/combination-of-grouped-and-stacked-bar-chart/2154

Here each subplot references a shared common yaxis and its own xaxis. Each xaxis gets a "domain" which here means a portion of the overall bottom axis width. Here the first group gets [0.0, 0.33], the second [0.34, 0.66] and the third [0.67, 1.0]
