Tom,
We are already working on improved layout capability that will be in the next release after 0.11 on Jan 6th. In the mean time, I have had success by employing the following properties:
-
plot.min_border_left, plot.min_border_top, etc.
-
axis.major_label_orientation
Basically, rotate the tick labels so they take up less space, and also set the min border on both plots large enough to accommodate the largest expected tick on either plot.
Additionally, if necessary, you can exert control over the tick formatting itself if that helps:
[http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/styling.html#tick-label-formats](http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/styling.html#tick-label-formats)
Finally, for standalone documents in 0.11 it is possible to extend Bokeh with custom user-defined models, and this might also provide a mechanism, but I suspect it would be overkill.
We definitely look forward to offering much more sophisticated layout options (both on- and off-canvas) in the near future. It’s been a priority for a long time, but there have been lots of priorities, and only a few of us to work on them.

Is there a way to layout multiple pots on top of each other so that the y axes align. I find that if the units of the 2 plots are different, then I get different sizes tick labels causing the plots to unalign. The example I’m showing is extreme but without the ability to line up plots stacking is of limited use.
Can I somehow force these plots into line or am I just doing the layout wrong?
