- source OWID COVID data. Renamed columns to be consistent with column names in question
- core concept. Build a figure for each column. Each figure contains traces (data), frames and layout. Key is that each frame name is unique, hence addition of a suffix (a, b or c)
- integrate three figures
- traces is simple, just traces from first figure
- frames is relatively simple, all frames from all figures
- layout take layout from first figure without play/pause buttons
- updatemenus is drop down of required columns. args are sliders and coloraxis from appropriate figure
- have used different color scales for each column. have used a different max for range_color for each column, calculated from underlying data
- play / pause have been removed - they can be made to partially work using this concept https://plotly.com/python/animations/#defining-button-arguments However this means you then need to updatemenus from updatemenus which really does not work in a completely static structure that updatemenus is

dash / plotly solution
- using dash it becomes very simple, just build as many figures as columns
- dropdown with call back just picks appropriate figure
