Q:

Plotly python subplots

I’m trying to make subplots with these two plots and cannot make it work. I need the output to be a “div” with the two plots stacked vertically as subplots.  Normally I would just use Matplotlib -- but I need the 3D ribbon plot from Plotly.
Like this:
plot 1
plot 2
Thank you for your help!

User Empet from Plotly posted a solution to my question here:  https://plot.ly/~empet/14824 
I added some custom coloring to make the plots look better together.
Very helpful!  Thank you Empet!
