Pulsating circles

Community Support

I embedded a bokeh server into custom html, with a map where I’m updating positions of circles. Is there a way to make circles pulsating? There are many example of pulsating circles usually using CSS (e.g. this or even this), so I was wandering if it’s somehow possible to connect that CSS to bokeh circles? And any other suggestions are highly appreciated (I have very little knowledge of JS).
Thanks!

There’s not any styling mechanism that can do this. The entire premise of Bokeh is that the visualization is always tied to data, so that then by updating data, the visualization can be updated correspondingly. To make the circles pulsate, you would need to use something like add_periodic_callback that updates the actual radius/size values for the glyph or its data source.
