Deactivate hovertool for specific glyphs

[Youtscheen]

Hello dear community,

would love to get some help on my issue:

I am trying to create a plot of geographical data in the field of Human Resources.
Therefore i created a map with multiple glyphs over a map.
Unfortunately my beloved hovertool shows tooltips for the patch in the background and for my circle render. See image below.
Is there a way to deactivate the hovertool for the patches but not for the circles?

Thanks alot for your help!

So the issue is that you’re passing ‘hover’ as a tool to the figure when you instantiate it, which “auto” generates a HoverTool model and adds it to the figure. But you aren’t specifying what renderers you want the hovertool to “trigger” on, and the default behaviour is to trigger on ALL renderers (i.e. your scatter and patches). But you can’t specify the renderers for the HoverTool at that point in your code, because you haven’t made them yet! For this reason I recommend creating a HoverTool “manually” instead and pointing a variable to it so you have access to it “later” in your code once you have the renderers you want the HoverTool to trigger on.

Rough code-sketch below:

from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.models import HoverTool

TOOLTIPS = [
    ('Schule', '@{Schule}'),
    ('Bewerber', '@Anzahl')
]

#//doing this:
f = figure(tools=['hover'],tooltips=TOOLTIPS) 
#// is the same as doing this:
f = figure(tools=[])
hvr = HoverTool(tooltips=TOOLTIPS)
f.add_tools(hvr)

#// with either method, if you run 
dir(f.tools)
#//you'll see the HoverTool model attached to the figure
#//with the first method, you don't have an explicit variable pointing to the HoverTool 
#//but with the second method you do. This makes the second method a bit easier/intuitive if you need to put more specs on it later.   

#// now let's say you plot two different renderers
rscat = f.scatter(x=...)
pscat = f.patches(xs=...)
#// the figure's hovertool will by default, trigger for both of them
#// BUT we can modify this thanks to HoverTool having a renderers property, which takes a list of renderers
hvr.renderers = [rscat]

#now the hovertool will only trigger on the scatter and not the patches

Wow thank you a lot!

It works like a charm! And your answer was verry comprehensive!
