class ColumnDataSource(*args, **kw)[source]

Bases: bokeh.models.sources.ColumnarDataSource

Maps names of columns to sequences or arrays.

The ColumnDataSource is a fundamental data structure of Bokeh. Most plots, data tables, etc. will be driven by a ColumnDataSource.

If the ColumnDataSource initializer is called with a single argument that can be any of the following:

  • A Python dict that maps string names to sequences of values, e.g. lists, arrays, etc.

    data = {'x': [1,2,3,4], 'y': np.ndarray([10.0, 20.0, 30.0, 40.0])}
    
    source = ColumnDataSource(data)
    
  • A Pandas DataFrame object

    source = ColumnDataSource(df)
    

    In this case the CDS will have columns corresponding to the columns of the DataFrame. If the DataFrame has a named index column, then CDS will also have a column with this name. However, if the index name (or any subname of a MultiIndex) is None, then the CDS will have a column generically named index for the index.

  • A Pandas GroupBy object

    group = df.groupby(('colA', 'ColB'))
    

    In this case the CDS will have columns corresponding to the result of calling group.describe(). The describe method generates columns for statistical measures such as mean and count for all the non-grouped orginal columns. The CDS columns are formed by joining original column names with the computed measure. For example, if a DataFrame has columns 'year' and 'mpg'. Then passing df.groupby('year') to a CDS will result in columns such as 'mpg_mean'

    If the GroupBy.describe result has a named index column, then CDS will also have a column with this name. However, if the index name (or any subname of a MultiIndex) is None, then the CDS will have a column generically named index for the index.

    Note this capability to adapt GroupBy objects may only work with Pandas >=0.20.0.

Note

There is an implicit assumption that all the columns in a given ColumnDataSource all have the same length at all times. For this reason, it is usually preferable to update the .data property of a data source “all at once”.

data

property type: ColumnData ( String , Seq ( Any ) )

Mapping of column names to sequences of data. The data can be, e.g, Python lists or tuples, NumPy arrays, etc.

__init__(*args, **kw)[source]

If called with a single argument that is a dict or pandas.DataFrame, treat that implicitly as the “data” attribute.

add(data, name=None)[source]

Appends a new column of data to the data source.

Parameters:
  • data (seq) – new data to add
  • name (str, optional) – column name to use. If not supplied, generate a name of the form “Series ####”
Returns:

the column name used

Return type:

str

classmethod from_df(data)[source]

Create a dict of columns from a Pandas DataFrame, suitable for creating a ColumnDataSource.

Parameters:data (DataFrame) – data to convert
Returns:dict[str, np.array]
classmethod from_groupby(data)[source]

Create a dict of columns from a Pandas GroupBy, suitable for creating a ColumnDataSource.

The data generated is the result of running describe on the group.

Parameters:data (Groupby) – data to convert
Returns:dict[str, np.array]
patch(patches, setter=None)[source]

Efficiently update data source columns at specific locations

If it is only necessary to update a small subset of data in a ColumnDataSource, this method can be used to efficiently update only the subset, instead of requiring the entire data set to be sent.

This method should be passed a dictionary that maps column names to lists of tuples that describe a patch change to apply. To replace individual items in columns entirely, the tuples should be of the form:

(index, new_value)  # replace a single column value

# or

(slice, new_values) # replace several column values

Values at an index or slice will be replaced with the corresponding new values.

In the case of columns whose values are other arrays or lists, (e.g. image or patches glyphs), it is also possible to patch “subregions”. In this case the first item of the tuple should be a whose first element is the index of the array item in the CDS patch, and whose subsequent elements are integer indices or slices into the array item:

# replace the entire 10th column of the 2nd array:

  +----------------- index of item in column data source
  |
  |       +--------- row subindex into array item
  |       |
  |       |       +- column subindex into array item
  V       V       V
([2, slice(None), 10], new_values)

Imagining a list of 2d NumPy arrays, the patch above is roughly equivalent to:

data = [arr1, arr2, ...]  # list of 2d arrays

data[2][:, 10] = new_data

There are some limitations to the kinds of slices and data that can be accepted.

  • Negative start, stop, or step values for slices will result in a ValueError.
  • In a slice, start > stop will result in a ValueError
  • When patching 1d or 2d subitems, the subitems must be NumPy arrays.
  • New values must be supplied as a flattened one-dimensional array of the appropriate size.
Parameters:patches (dict[str, list[tuple]]) – lists of patches for each column
Returns:None
Raises:ValueError

Example:

The following example shows how to patch entire column elements. In this case,

source = ColumnDataSource(data=dict(foo=[10, 20, 30], bar=[100, 200, 300]))

patches = {
    'foo' : [ (slice(2), [11, 12]) ],
    'bar' : [ (0, 101), (2, 301) ],
}

source.patch(patches)

After this operation, the value of the source.data will be:

dict(foo=[11, 22, 30], bar=[101, 200, 301])

For a more comprehensive complete example, see examples/howto/patch_app.py.

remove(name)[source]

Remove a column of data.

Parameters:name (str) – name of the column to remove
Returns:None

Note

If the column name does not exist, a warning is issued.

stream(new_data, rollover=None)[source]

Efficiently update data source columns with new append-only data.

In cases where it is necessary to update data columns in, this method can efficiently send only the new data, instead of requiring the entire data set to be re-sent.

Parameters:
  • new_data (dict[str, seq]) –

    a mapping of column names to sequences of new data to append to each column.

    All columns of the data source must be present in new_data, with identical-length append data.

  • rollover (int, optional) – A maximum column size, above which data from the start of the column begins to be discarded. If None, then columns will continue to grow unbounded (default: None)
Returns:

None

Raises:

ValueError

Example:

source = ColumnDataSource(data=dict(foo=[], bar=[]))

# has new, identical-length updates for all columns in source
new_data = {
    'foo' : [10, 20],
    'bar' : [100, 200],
}

source.stream(new_data)
to_df()[source]

Convert this data source to pandas dataframe.

If column_names is set, use those. Otherwise let Pandas infer the column names. The column_names property can be used both to order and filter the columns.

Returns:DataFrame
