Is it possible to change the orientation of group text in a CategoricalAxis?

Hello!

I have a plot similar to this one:

and I’d like to hide the major labels (2015, 2016, 2017) and tilt group_text (Apples, Pears, …) since in my case they are longer and are overlapping each other.

I’ve hidden major labels with p.xaxis.major_label_text_color = None but can’t find the way to tilt the group_text. I need something like p.xaxis.group_name_orientation = 1.2

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

This is not currently possible, the group labels are always parallel. Extending that would be a nice constrained task that would be good or a new contributor. In any case, a GitHub feature request is the appropriate next step:

Thanks,

Thank you, Bryan,

For the moment, if there is no workaround, I may try using some abreviated names for my labels.

And a way to get a legend with the values of the years?

I got both things “out of the box” when I used the old bkcharts package with something like:

p = Bar(source.data, values=‘counts’, label=[‘fruits’], group=‘year’, legend=“top_right”…)

``

so I’m thinking this should be possible using basic glyphs. I need to rewrite my old chart because I updated Bokeh to get rid of errors in IE11 elsewhere, and with bokeh 0.12.10rc2 I get this error when trying to import Bar from bkcharts:

File “init.py”, line 5, in :
from bokeh.plotting.helpers import DEFAULT_PALETTE; DEFAULT_PALETTE Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/hcoop/anaconda3/envs/hcoop/lib/python3.5/site-packages/bokeh/application/handlers/code_runner.py”, line 125, in run
exec(self._code, module.dict)
File “/web/hcoop_staging/bokeh_server/subsidizers.py”, line 4, in
from bkcharts import Bar
File “/home/hcoop/anaconda3/envs/hcoop/lib/python3.5/site-packages/bkcharts/init.py”, line 5, in
from bokeh.plotting.helpers import DEFAULT_PALETTE; DEFAULT_PALETTE
ImportError: cannot import name ‘DEFAULT_PALETTE’

``

Thanks again for the help!

Hi,

There are lots of examples with legends here:

  http://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/categorical.html

I would recommend studying that section first to see if it answers your question first.

Re: "Bar" it is now part of the separate "bkcharts" package. It is no longer part of core Bokeh. You may have success installing bkcharts explicitly, but quite possibly not. bkcharts is unsupported and maintained. I would not recommend anyone use it at this point.

Thanks,

Bryan
