line labels and legends for subplots collect next to the first subplot

[jstac]

See, for example, the 4th figure here:

http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/QuantEcon/QuantEcon.applications/blob/master/discrete_dp/discrete_dp_solutions_jl.ipynb

(After the statement "We next plot the consumption policies along the value iteration. ")

If you change the backend to pyplots, then legends are correct.

This is somethings that stumped me. I'd love help to figure it out.

I believe, but could be wrong, that plotly figures have one legend per figure. This means that if we have more than one subplot in a figure, we still have only one legend.

Something I've done in a very similar situation is use the legendgroup trace attribute to either group legend entries or group AND combine them.

You can see an example of grouping and combining here: http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/spencerlyon2/46e6df8ad3b84450b8cb#Unemployment-IRF-in-monthly-models

If this seems like a workable solution and you want to be able to produce figures like this let me know and I'll give the code 😄

This is a "feature"/behavior of plotly.js.

There is no support for multiple legends, though it has been requested on the plotly.js repo: plotly/plotly.js#1668

Will close here and if/when that gets resolved things should "just work" here too.
