Plotly Margins Not Taking Effect

[howardwu1]

Describe the bug

When I try to add margins via something like

fig.update_layout(
    margin=dict(l=20, r=20, t=20, b=20),
)

nothing ever happens. The graph does seem to respond well to auto margins but that's about it.

Reproduction

import gradio as gr
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure()

fig.add_trace(go.Scatter(
    x=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8],
    y=[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
))

fig.update_layout(
    autosize=False,
    width=500,
    height=500,
    margin=dict(
        l=50,
        r=50,
        b=100,
        t=100,
        pad=4
    ),
    paper_bgcolor="LightSteelBlue",
)

with gr.Blocks(theme=gr.themes.Soft()) as demo:
    ticker_data = gr.Plot(
        value=fig, container=False, show_label=False
    )

if __name__ == "__main__":
    demo.launch()

Severity

I can work around it

Note that I can work around it, but I want to demo it, and the formatting bug is very obvious

I've encountered a similar issue where the figure extends beyond the gr.Plot frame. In my experience, using plt.tight_layout() has proven beneficial for adjusting plot elements to ensure they fit within the given area. Although this solution is specific to Matplotlib
