In the histogram.py example, where do I insert the data?

Hi, I’m traying to do a histogram, using histogram.py, but cant find or dont know where to insert my data.csv to see results. I dont eaven know from where is the data of that example comming from. can any one please help me on this?

here’s the link to histogram.py histogram.py — Bokeh 2.4.3 Documentation

Hi @jsgaston,

If you look at the code they generate a histrogram with np.histogram, then pass that to the quad functions (see Quad). In the documentation they use a ColumnDataSource, but in histogram.py they effectively do,

# myapp.py
import numpy as np
from bokeh.plotting import figure, curdoc

mu, sigma = 0, 0.5

# Here is the data
measured = np.random.normal(mu, sigma, 1000)
hist, edges = np.histogram(measured, density=True, bins=50)

p = figure(title=title, tools='', background_fill_color="#fafafa")
p.quad(top=hist, bottom=0, left=edges[:-1], right=edges[1:],
            fill_color="navy", line_color="white", alpha=0.5)

curdoc().add_root(p)

then run bokeh serve myapp.py

Hope this helps!

measured is the data?

Yes, if you use ipython and look at the output it is just a normal distribution np.random.normal.

Or you could run the above in a notebook to check.

np.histogram puts it into a format that is compatible for p.quad (or traditionally matplotlib.pyplot.hist).
