Plot in pluto jl made with the plotly backend has a lot of wasted white space

using PlotlyJS
using PlutoUI

@bind plotly_backend() begin
    PlotlyJS.plotlyjs()
end

@bind function plotly_backend()
    backend = plotly_backend()
    backend.plotlyjs()
end

plotly_backend()

Solution 1: Adjusting the plot margins

One way to solve the issue of wasted white space in a plot made with the Plotly backend in Pluto.jl is to adjust the plot margins. By reducing the margins, we can make the plot take up more space and minimize the wasted white space.

using PlotlyJS
using PlutoUI

@bind plotly_backend() begin
    PlotlyJS.plotlyjs()
    PlotlyJS.layout(margin = Dict("l" => 50, "r" => 50, "t" => 50, "b" => 50))
end

@bind function plotly_backend()
    backend = plotly_backend()
    backend.plotlyjs()
    backend.layout(margin = Dict("l" => 50, "r" => 50, "t" => 50, "b" => 50))
end

plotly_backend()

In this solution, we use the `PlotlyJS.layout` function to adjust the margins of the plot. The `margin` argument is a dictionary that specifies the left, right, top, and bottom margins in pixels. By reducing these margins, we can make the plot take up more space and minimize the wasted white space.

Solution 2: Adjusting the plot size

Another way to solve the issue of wasted white space in a plot made with the Plotly backend in Pluto.jl is to adjust the plot size. By increasing the size of the plot, we can make it fill up more of the available space and reduce the wasted white space.

using PlotlyJS
using PlutoUI

@bind plotly_backend() begin
    PlotlyJS.plotlyjs()
    PlotlyJS.layout(width = 800, height = 600)
end

@bind function plotly_backend()
    backend = plotly_backend()
    backend.plotlyjs()
    backend.layout(width = 800, height = 600)
end

plotly_backend()

In this solution, we use the `PlotlyJS.layout` function to adjust the size of the plot. The `width` and `height` arguments specify the width and height of the plot in pixels. By increasing these values, we can make the plot larger and reduce the wasted white space.

Solution 3: Adjusting the plot aspect ratio

A third way to solve the issue of wasted white space in a plot made with the Plotly backend in Pluto.jl is to adjust the plot aspect ratio. By changing the aspect ratio, we can make the plot fill up more of the available space and minimize the wasted white space.

using PlotlyJS
using PlutoUI

@bind plotly_backend() begin
    PlotlyJS.plotlyjs()
    PlotlyJS.layout(aspectratio = Dict("x" => 2, "y" => 1))
end

@bind function plotly_backend()
    backend = plotly_backend()
    backend.plotlyjs()
    backend.layout(aspectratio = Dict("x" => 2, "y" => 1))
end

plotly_backend()

In this solution, we use the `PlotlyJS.layout` function to adjust the aspect ratio of the plot. The `aspectratio` argument is a dictionary that specifies the aspect ratio of the plot. By changing the values of the `x` and `y` keys, we can adjust the aspect ratio and make the plot fill up more of the available space.

Among the three options, the best solution depends on the specific requirements of the plot and the desired outcome. Adjusting the plot margins is a good option if the wasted white space is mainly due to excessive margins. Adjusting the plot size is a good option if the wasted white space is mainly due to a small plot size. Adjusting the plot aspect ratio is a good option if the wasted white space is mainly due to an unfavorable aspect ratio. It is recommended to try out different options and see which one provides the desired result.
