Legend location and text alignment issues

Community Support
1

I’m trying to recreate a plot using Bokeh, hit some issues. Original plot, attempted plot, code attached.

Issues:

  1. Legend is appearing in the middle of the plot even though I tried adding it below, and setting its location to ‘bottom_center’. Not working.

  2. Major labels on the y-axis are not getting aligned to the left. I tried putting major_label_text_align=‘left’.

  3. When I try and add three labels above the plot, instead of two, the plot collapses. This issue is referenced here: models/legends example broken · Issue #4561 · bokeh/bokeh · GitHub . But the solution listed there of putting title=None is not solving the issue here.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Off-view legends currently don’t work very well. This is fixed in https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/pull/5349, which will be part of upcoming bokeh 0.12.4 release. Then you will have to change Legend.location to “center” (instead of “bottom_center”).

Apparently major_label_text_align is a no-op. We have to implement it.

If the workaround doesn’t work, then we just need to fix this issue (not an easy one).

Actually, it’s not an no-op, but user’s setting gets overridden by axis’ heuristics.

also just to note, "bottom_center", etc. applies to legends *inside* the "plot area". If you want a legend outside the plot area, you have to follow

  Appearance — Bokeh 3.3.2 Documentation

Thanks,

Mateusz, thanks for your response.

Bryan, I tried all permutations of legend location and add_layout positions but none of them seemed to work, but I get your point and hopefully, this will be fixed in 0.12.4 and solve my problem. Thanks!
