area chart alphas

i was curious about what is the best way to change the alphas for a high level area chart.

There does not seem to be an out of the box alpha for the area chart. maybe there is some sort of attribute i could access and adjust the alphas for my area chart.

There is definitely a trade-off in terms of ease of customizability with charts (does more for you up front but exposes less knobs and dials, fairly common trade off). I think there is an open issue for adding an alpha param to some of the charts. This would be a good task for a new contributor since it's pure python. In the mean time, you can either use bokeh.plotting or as you say set the alpha on the glyhph(s). So: look at plot.renderers find all the GlyphRenderer instances, for each of those, set .glyph.alpha

Thanks,

Bryan
