Description

As can be seen there isn't enough place for both titles:

image

library(magrittr)
library(plotly)

mtcars %>% 
  plot_ly(x =~ mpg, y =~ disp, frame =~ cyl) %>% 
  add_markers() %>% 
  layout(xaxis = list(title = "Miles/(US) gallon")) %>% 
  animation_slider(
    currentvalue = list(prefix = "Number of cylinders: "
    )
  )

Is there any solution for that?
