Has anyone implemented drop shadow capability for line charts? I would like to put drop shadow on the line in the chart to add emphasis and bring it to the front from a 3d perspective.
thanks

Drop Shadows for line charts
Hi,
Bokeh does not support anything like this, and I doubt that it ever will in the core library. You could possibly "fake it" by plotting thicker lines with reduced alpha along side the original lines. Alternatively, Bokeh is extensible, so you could create a custom extension Line glyph subclass that does this:

Thanks,
Bryan
