bokeh.models.plots

Models for representing top-level plot objects.

class Plot(**kwargs)[source]

Bases: bokeh.models.layouts.LayoutDOM

Model representing a plot, containing glyphs, guides, annotations.

above

property type: List ( Instance ( Renderer ) )

A list of renderers to occupy the area above of the plot.

aspect_scale

property type: Float

A value to be given for increased aspect ratio control. This value is added multiplicatively to the calculated value required for match_aspect. aspect_scale is defined as the ratio of width over height of the figure.

For example, a plot with aspect_scale value of 2 will result in a square in data units to be drawn on the screen as a rectangle with a pixel width twice as long as its pixel height.

Note

This setting only takes effect if match_aspect is set to True.

background_fill_alpha

property type: NumberSpec

The fill alpha for the plot background style.

background_fill_color

property type: ColorSpec

The fill color for the plot background style.

below

property type: List ( Instance ( Renderer ) )

A list of renderers to occupy the area below of the plot.

border_fill_alpha

property type: NumberSpec

The fill alpha for the plot border style.

border_fill_color

property type: ColorSpec

The fill color for the plot border style.

extra_x_ranges

property type: Dict ( String , Instance ( Range ) )

Additional named ranges to make available for mapping x-coordinates.

This is useful for adding additional axes.

extra_y_ranges

property type: Dict ( String , Instance ( Range ) )

Additional named ranges to make available for mapping y-coordinates.

This is useful for adding additional axes.

h_symmetry

property type: Bool

Whether the total horizontal padding on both sides of the plot will be made equal (the left or right padding amount, whichever is larger).

hidpi

property type: Bool

Whether to use HiDPI mode when available.

inner_height

property type: Int

This is the exact height of the plotting canvas, i.e. the height of the actual plot, without toolbars etc. Note this is computed in a web browser, so this property will work only in backends capable of bidirectional communication (server, notebook).

Note

This is an experimental feature and the API may change in near future.

inner_width

property type: Int

This is the exact width of the plotting canvas, i.e. the width of the actual plot, without toolbars etc. Note this is computed in a web browser, so this property will work only in backends capable of bidirectional communication (server, notebook).

Note

This is an experimental feature and the API may change in near future.

layout_height

property type: Int

This is the exact height of the layout, i.e. the height of the actual plot, with toolbars etc. Note this is computed in a web browser, so this property will work only in backends capable of bidirectional communication (server, notebook).

Note

This is an experimental feature and the API may change in near future.

layout_width

property type: Int

This is the exact width of the layout, i.e. the height of the actual plot, with toolbars etc. Note this is computed in a web browser, so this property will work only in backends capable of bidirectional communication (server, notebook).

Note

This is an experimental feature and the API may change in near future.

left

property type: List ( Instance ( Renderer ) )

A list of renderers to occupy the area to the left of the plot.

lod_factor

property type: Int

Decimation factor to use when applying level-of-detail decimation.

lod_interval

property type: Int

Interval (in ms) during which an interactive tool event will enable level-of-detail downsampling.

lod_threshold

property type: Int

A number of data points, above which level-of-detail downsampling may be performed by glyph renderers. Set to None to disable any level-of-detail downsampling.

lod_timeout

property type: Int

Timeout (in ms) for checking whether interactive tool events are still occurring. Once level-of-detail mode is enabled, a check is made every lod_timeout ms. If no interactive tool events have happened, level-of-detail mode is disabled.

match_aspect

property type: Bool

Specify the aspect ratio behavior of the plot. Aspect ratio is defined as the ratio of width over height. This property controls whether Bokeh should attempt the match the (width/height) of data space to the (width/height) in pixels of screen space.

Default is False which indicates that the data aspect ratio and the screen aspect ratio vary independently. True indicates that the plot aspect ratio of the axes will match the aspect ratio of the pixel extent the axes. The end result is that a 1x1 area in data space is a square in pixels, and conversely that a 1x1 pixel is a square in data units.

Note

This setting only takes effect when there are two dataranges. This setting only sets the initial plot draw and subsequent resets. It is possible for tools (single axis zoom, unconstrained box zoom) to change the aspect ratio.

Warning

This setting is incompatible with linking dataranges across multiple plots. Doing so may result in undefined behaviour.

min_border

property type: Int

A convenience property to set all all the min_border_X properties to the same value. If an individual border property is explicitly set, it will override min_border.

min_border_bottom

property type: Int

Minimum size in pixels of the padding region below the bottom of the central plot region.

Note

This is a minimum. The padding region may expand as needed to accommodate titles or axes, etc.

min_border_left

property type: Int

Minimum size in pixels of the padding region to the left of the central plot region.

Note

This is a minimum. The padding region may expand as needed to accommodate titles or axes, etc.

min_border_right

property type: Int

Minimum size in pixels of the padding region to the right of the central plot region.

Note

This is a minimum. The padding region may expand as needed to accommodate titles or axes, etc.

min_border_top

property type: Int

Minimum size in pixels of the padding region above the top of the central plot region.

Note

This is a minimum. The padding region may expand as needed to accommodate titles or axes, etc.

outline_line_cap

property type: Enum ( LineCap )

The line cap for the plot border outline.

outline_line_color

property type: ColorSpec

Note

This corresponds directly to the height of the HTML canvas that will be used.

plot_width

Note

This corresponds directly to the width of the HTML canvas that will be used.

renderers

property type: List ( Instance ( Renderer ) )

Parameters:selector (JSON-like) – some sample text
Keyword Arguments:
 kwargs – query dict key/values as keyword arguments

For convenience, queries on just names can be made by supplying the name string as the single parameter:

Parameters:name (str) – the name to query on

Also queries on just type can be made simply by supplying the Model subclass as the single parameter:

Parameters:type (Model) – the type to query on
Returns:seq[Model]

Examples

# These two are equivalent
p.select({"type": HoverTool})
p.select(HoverTool)

# These two are also equivalent
p.select({"name": "mycircle"})
