Hi Jerry, I'm not too experienced with Plotly, and this is just like, my opinion (man)[^1], but I think you're going to be much better off in the long run figuring out how to control the plot margins during creation rather than clipping them after. A quick google suggests that it is possible, maybe depending on how you're calling/creating your plot (e.g. from python, R, etc). For example:
