Plot sorting

Community Support

Hello,

I’m wanting to plot some data, for example a heat map, and sort it by “hootest” columns or “coolest” rows. My line of thinking is that I’d have to create a tool that would accomplish this by sorting the data itself and then replotting. Is this line of thinking correct, or is there some built in tool that can accomplish this for me? The sorting translates to all levels, for example different plots etc.

Thanks!

Hi,

I can’t quite picture what it is you are trying to accomplish. I think i can fairly confidently say that there’s nothing built directly into Bokeh for this, so I can only say generally that you can probably do whatever it is you need:

  • with CustomJS callbacks if all the data can be sent/loaded into the browser

  • with python/bokeh app callbacks if the data is too large to send all to the browser

Thanks,

Bryan
