custom axis range with high level charts?

Community Support
1

Hi all,

I’ve been using Bokeh for the last few weeks and love it. Been creating charts using both the glyph and highlevel chart functions. However, when using highlevel charts, I can’t figure out how to set custom axis range, e.g. from 0 to 100. Apologies if this is a trivial question, I spent a lot of time looking for this but can’t find the solution.

To make a custom range
you would do:

    from bo            keh.models

import Range1d

        x_range = Range1d(0, 100)

              For sure with Plot and Figure/figure, you can then pass this int e.g. figure                            (x_range=x_range,

…)

                                                      But I just tried

on Chart and it didn’t blow up, b ut it also didn’t
have an effect on the plot.

                                                                  Maybe

Hi,

It depends on the chart you are using (although I’d say the support is not optimal at the moment). Can you send a code example so we can see the type of chart you are using and if/how it can be done?

Thanks

Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried setting the y-range with Range1d(0,100), but it doesn’t affect the plot (still plots from 30 and 100%). Find below the code snipped.

Thanks in advance for helping!

from bokeh.charts import defaults

defaults.width=1000

defaults.height = 700

source=ColumnDataSource(scatterD)

yR=Range1d(0,100)

p = Scatter (scatterD, x=‘NumberofReads’, y=‘Complexity’, color=‘Library’,

        xlabel="Number of Reads", ylabel="Complexity",

         title="Complexity vs Total Number of Reads",

        legend="top_right", y_range=yR)

output_file (“complexity_versus_read_numbers_scatter_viaHighlevel.html”, title=“scatter_complexity_vs_read_numbers_bokeh_dev_1.0”)

show(p)

If you set the range after the call to scatter it works.

Here’s a notebook showing it in action: http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/birdsarah/bokeh-miscellany/blob/master/set%20range%20on%20chart.ipynb

This seems like a bug to me, I’m adding an issue.

Yes, it is a bug and Sarah’s workaround is probably the best option at the moment. The fix should not be hard (for at least a few charts) and I’d be pleased to help you if you have time and bandwidth to work on a fix PR on this otherwise we will include the new issue in our priority queue.

Thanks for your feedback

Fabio
