Facet and Trellis Plots

Facet plots, also known as trellis plots or small multiples, are figures made up of multiple subplots which have the same set of axes, where each subplot shows a subset of the data. While it is straightforward to use plotly's subplot capabilities to make such figures, it's far easier to use the built-in facet_row and facet_col arguments in the various Plotly Express functions.

Scatter Plot Column Facets

import plotly.express as px
tips = px.data.tips()
fig = px.scatter(tips, x="total_bill", y="tip", color="smoker", facet_col="sex")
fig.show()

Bar Chart Row Facets

import plotly.express as px
tips = px.data.tips()
fig = px.bar(tips, x="size", y="total_bill", color="sex", facet_row="smoker")
fig.show()

Histogram Facet Grids

import plotly.express as px
tips = px.data.tips()
fig = px.histogram(tips, x="total_bill", y="tip", color="sex", facet_row="time", facet_col="day",
       category_orders={"day": ["Thur", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun"], "time": ["Lunch", "Dinner"]})
fig.show()
