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

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?
