Plotting defaults?

Community Support

Hi all,

Apologies in advance for a silly / potentially obvious question.

For charts, you can do:

from bokeh.charts import defaults

defaults.width = 450
defaults.height = 350

I haven’t been able to find the same thing for plotting—is there a way to do this?

Many thanks,

Max

Hi,

      I believe that isn't

possible for plotting.

It is a neat feature though, definitely worth opening a feature request.

Sincerely,

Sarah Bird
