Need help with themes -- can't set theme values for individual axes and grids

I like the idea of using themes to override default behavior. I’m using them to reduce repetitive code. I’m a bit surprised that I couldn’t find a collection of pre-made themes like ggplot2 has in R.

I appreciate the Bokeh theme documentation here:

and this S.O. post showed me how to actually USE themes:

I created default “themes” for the Grid, Axis, Title, Figure, Legend – and those work like a charm! But I can’t figure out how to control the settings for xaxis and yaxis, xgrid and ygrid. Because of this I can’t include f.yaxis.major_label_orientation = “vertical” in the theme.

And I can’t find examples anywhere . . . maybe I’m one of the only people doing this? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

These are the important excerpts from my code:

myplot.py:

import bokeh_theme

f = figure(x_range=axes_values,

y_range=axes_values,

tools=tools,

logo=None)

style the title

f.title.text = “Title of Plot”

f.yaxis.axis_label = “Y Axis Label”

f.xaxis.axis_label = “X Axis Label”

f.circle(x=“xvalues”,

y=“yalues”,

size=“size_count”,

color=“green”,

legend=“Match”,

source=good_matches)

show(f)

bokeh_theme.py:

from bokeh.io import curdoc

from bokeh.themes import Theme

from bokeh.palettes import YlGn

text_font = ‘times’

palette = YlGn.get(9)

curdoc().theme = Theme(json={‘attrs’: {
