Is there a way to draw the axes in the middle of a figure?
Something Like this solution using spines in Matplotlib.

Axes passing through the middle of Bokeh figure
You can use ‘span’ from the models API.
from bokeh.models import Span
xaxis
xax = Span(location=0,dimension=‘width’, level=‘glyph’)
p.add_layout(xax)
#yaxis
yax = Span(location=0,dimension=‘height’, level=‘glyph’)
p.add_layout(yax)
If you’re using charts, you’d probably have to do:
chartname.renderers.extend([xax])``
Hopefully this helped,

Hi,
There's an open GitHub issue to allow Axes to be located in other places besides the plot borders:
It's an old issue, but I am hopeful it can be prioritized in the near future. In the mean time, the Span suggestion from Harshit is probably your best bet.
Thanks,
Bryan
