How to control tick-labels on multi-level FactorRange

Community Support
1

I’ve got a three-level bokeh.models.FactorRange which I use to draw tick labels on a vbar-plot. The problem is that there are dozens of factors in total and the lowest-level labels get very cramped; I need to control the way the tick-labels are rendered.

I can use plot.xaxis.formatter = bokeh.models.PrintfTickFormatter(format='') to suppress drawing of the lowest-level labels, but this seems like an ugly hack. Also, I need to have the second-level tick labels to be rotated, yet plot.xaxis.major_label_orientation = ... only ever affects the lowest-level ticks (just like plot.xaxis.formatter does).

How to control the rendering of tick-labels on each level of bokeh.models.FactorRange individually?

I’ve already asked this question on SA, it’s bounty ending in a few days.

I replied on SO, the TLDR is that would be a new feature to request, but a custom extension might be an option.
