I’m using Chartify to do a stacked bar graph with a lot of categories. Problem is that the rendered legend isn’t large enough to show all my categories. I would have thought it would just wrap around and start a new line, but this is not the case.
I found some parameters I could alter on glyph size and text size. If I change legend.label_height I can make the legend area larger, but the legend still won’t wrap around to a new line.
Am I missing something here?
Not missing anything, I’d say. There have been a few calls to allow legends to take a (rows, cols) configuration so that legends could be arrayed in a grid. But no one has implemented that idea yet. I would say for this case a vertical orientation of the legend might be better, with the legend off to the side of the plot. Presumably Chartify exposes a way to get at the actual Bokeh plot object, in which case you can set legend location and orientation as described in the docs:
Alternatively you could add a second horizontal legend below the one Chartify creates, and move some of the LegendItem objects from the first legend to the second to split them up.
Thanks Bryan,
I’ll give those a shot and see if they work.
