Research direction

Start by running the supplied Python example in a Jupyter Notebook and inspect how make_subplots() assigns domains to the go.Indicator traces. Compare the requested row and column positions with the rendered result, then verify that indicators can be vertically positioned as described and that the example behaves consistently across the four subplot cells.

Description

bug P3

There seems to be a bug with the Indicator class domain/position when used in make_subplots()

I am trying to vertically position 2 indicators in a subplot, so that I have one above the other, but is not working.

Example below is adapted from the indicator example on the plotly website

I also tried { 'type ' : 'domain' } as I read this this might be the issue

version plotly = 5.23

fig made in Jupyter Notebook

from plotly.subplots import make_subplots
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = make_subplots(
    rows=2, cols=2,
    specs=[ [{"type": "indicator"},{"type": "indicator"}] ,
           [{"type": "indicator"}, {"type": "indicator"}], 
          ]
    ,
)

fig.add_trace(go.Indicator(
    mode = "number+delta",
    value = 200,
    domain = {'x': [0, 0.5], 'y': [0, 0.5]},
    delta = {'reference': 400, 'relative': True, 'position' : "top"}), 
             col =1, 
             row = 1,
             )

fig.add_trace(go.Indicator(
    mode = "number+delta",
    value = 350,
    delta = {'reference': 400, 'relative': True},
    domain = {'x': [0.5, 1], 'y': [0.5, 1]}), 
              col =1, 
             row = 1,
             
             )

fig.add_trace(go.Indicator(
    mode = "number+delta",
    value = 450,
    title = {"text": "Accounts<br><span style='font-size:0.8em;color:gray'>Subtitle</span><br><span style='font-size:0.8em;color:gray'>Subsubtitle</span>"},
    delta = {'reference': 400, 'relative': True},
    domain = {'x': [0.6, 1], 'y': [0, 1]}),
