How to draw twin axis, where one is categorical and the other is numerical

RoyalblueAug 16, 2017 #1

I’d like to draw a plot with twin axis, where one is categorical and the other is numerical.

I tried the following code but it throws an error.

x = pd.Series([‘2017/1/1’, ‘2017/1/2’, ‘2017/1/3’, ‘2017/1/4’]).map(lambda x: parse(x))
y = [“a”, “b”, “c”, “a”]
y2=[1,10,4,8]

p = figure(x_axis_type=‘datetime’, y_range=FactorRange(factors=list(set(y))), plot_width=400, plot_height=200)

p.circle(x, y, size=10, color=“blue”)

#p.vbar(x=x, bottom=0, top=y, width=0.1, color=“blue”)

p.extra_y_ranges={‘count’: Range1d(start=0, end=11)}
p.circle(x, y, size=10, color=“red”, y_range_name=‘count’)
p.add_layout(LinearAxis(y_range_name=“count”), ‘right’)

show(p)

···

Here is error message:

E-1009 (INCOMPATIBLE_SCALE_AND_RANGE): A Scale is incompatible with one or more ranges on the same plot dimension: incompatibility on y-dimension: Range1d(id=‘79319bcd-f740-4aa3-8358-b153158d7436’, …), CategoricalScale(id=‘83e32163-4bf9-494c-973a-a63a00b57549’, …) [Figure(id=‘e542157c-8d8e-4b65-b0df-ab1e4c2a69f8’, …)]

This is certainly not currently going to work. Making it work would require some thought and discussion, as it's not clear to me what "correct" behavior would be in many cases, when imagining combining a categorical and non-categorical axis. If you'd like to propose it as a new feature, a GitHub issue is the place to start:

Issues · bokeh/bokeh · GitHub

But I will be honest and say that there are many current high priorities, and its not likely any core dev would be able to look at it any time soon. A better option in the immediate term is a non-categorical axis and custom tick formatting to display whatever text you want, a tick formatter:

Appearance — Bokeh 3.3.2 Documentation

or label overrides:

Thanks,

Thank you Bryan for the alternative methods. It works perfectly as I intend.

I did something like this according to the userguide:

feature_list = a_un_history[‘feature’].unique()

num_to_feature = dict(zip(range(len(feature_list)), feature_list))

feature_to_num = {v:k for k,v in num_to_feature.items()}

x = a_un_history[‘generation_timestamp’]

p = figure(plot_width=800, plot_height=400,

x_axis_type=“datetime”,

tools=[‘xzoom_in’, ‘xzoom_out’, ‘xpan’, ‘reset’])

p.y_range = Range1d(-0.1,len(feature_list)-0.8)

p.extra_y_ranges = {“RSSI”: Range1d(-100, 10)}

p.add_layout(LinearAxis(y_range_name=“RSSI”), ‘left’)

p.circle(x=x, y=a_un_history[‘feature’].map(feature_to_num) ,size=1, line_color=“blue”, line_width=3)

p.yaxis[0].major_label_overrides = num_to_feature

p.circle(x, a_un_history[‘RSSI’], color=‘red’, y_range_name=“RSSI”)

p.add_tools(BoxZoomTool(dimensions=“width”))

show(p)
