Description

Yet another feature request (sorry for that).

I'd like to have options for shared axes in visdom plots.

In the figure below I have 3 different windows that should be attached to each other.

Describe alternatives you've considered While sharing axes might be problematic to implement, a fallback option is just adding gravity between windows:

vis.bind(win1, win2, 'horiz')
vis.bind(win1, win3, 'vert')

Research direction
Review the visdom source code, particularly the window management logic in visdom/vis.py or similar. Explore how windows are instantiated and if there is any existing support for window grouping. Check the linked issue comments for any prior discussion or partial solutions. Consider implementing a 'bind' function that connects windows for shared axes or gravity layout.
