Subplot with Plotly in R

Question

I cannot get a side by side subplot of a piechart using the plotly library in R with R Markdown. Instead, it looks like the subplot is overlaying one pie on top of the other:

---
title: "Test Plotly Pie"
author: ""
date: ""
output:
   html_document:
      self_contained: no
---

```{r plotpie1, results='asis', tidy=FALSE, message=FALSE, fig.retina=NULL, echo=FALSE, out.width = "99%", out.height="750p[![enter image description here][1]][1]x"}

require(plotly)
require(dplyr)

p1 <- plot_ly(type="pie",values=c(5,954), height = 7,
        labels=c("Change","No Change"),textinfo="label", hoverinfo="all",
        textposition="outside",showlegend=F,marker=list(colors=c(
          "lightskyblue",
           "deepblue"
        ))) %>%
  layout(autosize = T)

p2 <- plot_ly(type="pie",values=c(15,1325), height = 7,
        labels=c("Change","No Change"),textinfo="label", hoverinfo="all",
        textposition="outside",showlegend=F,marker=list(colors=c(
          "lightskyblue",
           "deepblue"
        ))) %>%
  layout(autosize = T)

p4 <- suppressWarnings(subplot(
   p1,
   p2,
   margin=0.05))

p4

```

I am using R 3.1.3 64-bit on a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I am using the plotly package version: 2.0.16 (downloaded from Github in mid December of 2015).

As I suspected... Is the pie type not supported with subplot? Or is there just a different way that you are supposed to call pie's within the subplot? — R_User123456789

"Is the pie type not supported with subplot" it looks like it..maybe somebody else will come up with a solution, line and point graphs work fine. Pie chart don't really have x and y axis.... — MLavoie

@MLavoie : So I took your answer [here] (stackoverflow.com/questions/35002772/pie-chart-labels-cut-off) to modify my margins, and then I changed the out.width and height to smaller percentages, then threw a "float: left; position: relative" into the style tag, and that is the best answer I have thus far... Works great though when I do that. Thanks for the help! — R_User123456789

I am happy I was useful :-) You should post your answer for future readers! People don't always look into the comments. — MLavoie

As suggested by MLavoie, I'll just add an answer in case someone finds it useful...

```{r message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(plotly)
p <- plot_ly(x = rnorm(1000), y = rnorm(1000), mode = "markers")
```

<div>
 <div style = "float:left">
 ```{r echo = F, fig.width = 4, fig.height = 4}
 p
 ```
 </div>

 <div style = "float:right">
 ```{r, echo = F, fig.width = 4, fig.height = 4}
 p
 ```
 </div>
</div>

I have the same problem. Neither the solution from MLovie or @royr2 works, though. Is that code for r? I don't understand the code
