Hi,
I am unable to draw a bounding box around the plots. An example that I am trying to reproduce with the original image is as follows:
Any suggestions on how to do it ?

Bounding Boxes
There's nothing built in to do this. Bokeh draws on a raster HTML canvas, so the browser can't do anything automatically either since almost none of the things you show highlighted are individual DOM elements. For glyphs that have data-space extents, you could potential compute boxes yourself (in Python) and draw them yourself. But other things (e.g. tick labels, titles, legends...) are only computed in the browser, so new BokehJS development would be required to add this functionality. To add it option for "everything", new code would need to be added in a large number of places. You could add a GH feature request issue for this, but being honest, I am not sure we would be able to prioritize it any time soon.
Thank,
Bryan
