Plotly, known for its intuitive interface and functionality, lacks a built-in template for polished, data journalism-standard charts. This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to crop the y-axis in bar charts to create a more professional look. The series aims to elevate Plotly’s charts to meet the high standards of data visualization in journalism. All images in the article are original creations by the author.
