Legend, brewer.py example

Community Support

Hi,

How could I add the legend to the brewer.py example? I need it outside the area plot.

Thanks!

Hi Felipe,

Here is a working example doing that. Essentially I modded the example to work using a ColumnDataSource (in an extremely quick and dirty way), into which you can put the category labels (just the generated column names here). Then its fairly easy to get it to make
a legend for you. The simplest way I’ve found to get a legend outside of the plot area is to take a copy of it, remove the legend instance from the plot, and add it back in off to the side somewhere.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd

from bokeh.plotting import figure, show, output_file
from bokeh.palettes import brewer
from bokeh.core.properties import value
from bokeh.models import ColumnDataSource

N = 20
cats = 10
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randint(10, 100, size=(N, cats))).add_prefix(‘y’)

def stacked(df):
df_top = df.cumsum(axis=1)
df_bottom = df_top.shift(axis=1).fillna({‘y0’: 0})[::-1]
df_stack = pd.concat([df_bottom, df_top], ignore_index=True)
return df_stack

areas = stacked(df)
colors = brewer[‘Spectral’][areas.shape[1]]
cols = areas.columns

x2 = np.hstack((df.index[::-1], df.index))

Quick and dirty to get it into a source format.

source = ColumnDataSource(dict(
xs = [x2] * areas.shape[1],
ys = [areas[c].values for c in areas],
label = cols,
color = colors,
))

p = figure(x_range=(0, N-1), y_range=(0, 800))
p.grid.minor_grid_line_color = ‘#eeeeee’

p.patches(xs=‘xs’, ys=‘ys’, color=‘color’, legend=‘label’,
source=source, alpha=0.8, line_color=None)

First format the legend as desired.

p.legend.padding = 0
p.legend.border_line_color = None
p.legend.background_fill_alpha = 0

Then take a copy of it.

new_legend = p.legend[0]

Then remove it from the plot and add it back in off to the side.

p.legend[0].plot = None
p.add_layout(new_legend, ‘right’)

output_file(‘brewer.html’, title=‘brewer.py example’)

show(p)

Hope this helps,

Jack
