INTERACTIVE DATA VISUALIZATION WITH BOKEH
Introduction to
Layouts
Interactive Data Visualization with Bokeh
Arranging multiple plots
● Arrange plots (and controls) visually
on a page:
● rows, columns
● grid arrangements
● tabbed layouts
Interactive Data Visualization with Bokeh
Rows of plots
In [1]: from bokeh.layouts import row
In [2]: layout = row(p1, p2, p3)
In [3]: output_file('row.html')
In [4]: show(layout)

Columns of plots
In [1]: from bokeh.layouts import column
In [2]: layout = column(p1, p2, p3)
In [3]: output_file('column.html')
In [4]: show(layout)

Nested Layouts
● Rows and column can be nested for more
sophisticated layouts
In [1]: from bokeh.layouts import column, row
In [2]: layout = row(column(p1, p2), p3)
In [3]: output_file('nested.html')
In [4]: show(layout)

Layouts

Gridplots
In [1]: from bokeh.layouts import gridplot
In [2]: layout = gridplot([[None, p1], [p2, p3]],
...: toolbar_location=None)
In [3]: output_file('nested.html')
In [4]: show(layout)
● Give a “list of rows” for layout
● can use None as a placeholder
● Accepts toolbar_location

Tabbed Layouts
In [1]: from bokeh.models.widgets import Tabs, Panel
In [2]: # Create a Panel with a title for each tab
In [3]: first = Panel(child=row(p1, p2), title='first')
In [4]: second = Panel(child=row(p3), title='second')
In [5]: # Put the Panels in a Tabs object
In [6]: tabs = Tabs(tabs=[first, second])
In [7]: output_file('tabbed.html')
In [8]: show(layout)

Linking Plots
Together
Interactive Data Visualization with Bokeh
Linking axes
In [1]: p3.x_range = p2.x_range = p1.x_range
In [2]: p3.y_range = p2.y_range = p1.y_range

Linking selections
In [1]: p1 = figure(title='petal length vs. sepal length')
In [2]: p1.circle('petal_length', 'sepal_length',
...: color='blue', source=source)
In [3]: p2 = figure(title='petal length vs. sepal width')
In [4]: p2.circle('petal_length', 'sepal_width',
...: color='green', source=source)
In [5]: p3 = figure(title='petal length vs. petal width')
In [6]: p3.circle('petal_length', 'petal_width',
...: line_color='red', fill_color=None,
...: source=source)

Annotations
and Guides
Interactive Data Visualization with Bokeh
What are they?
● Help relate scale information to the viewer
● Axes, Grids (default on most plots)
● Explain the visual encodings that are used
● Legends
● Drill down into details not visible in the plot
● Hover Tooltips
Interactive Data Visualization with Bokeh
Legends
In [1]: plot.circle('petal_length', 'sepal_length',
...: size=10, source=source,
...: color={'field': 'species',
...: 'transform': mapper},
...: legend='species')
In [2]: plot.legend.location = 'top_left'
Interactive Data Visualization with Bokeh
Hover Tooltips
In [1]: from bokeh.models import HoverTool
In [2]: hover = HoverTool(tooltips=[
...: ('species name', '@species'),
...: ('petal length', '@petal_length'),
...: ('sepal length', '@sepal_length'),
...: ])
In [3]: plot = figure(tools=[hover, 'pan',
...: 'wheel_zoom'])
