rbokeh: Color gradient plot/legend

Community Support

jeremiah_roundsJan 21, 2016 #1

Hi,

rbokeh question.

I implemented a heatmap with ly_crect, but now I need to make a legend.

The legend is going to take the form of something like the color gradient:

The question is:

what basic rbokeh layer do you recommend to do this sort of color gradient?
Is there any positioning tricks to get a small figure offset from a larger one?

Because the “legend” with “heatmap” is intended to go together in a Trelliscope display, I have to somehow get the two to be in one rbokeh figure.

Thanks,

Jeremiah

This is just kind of the R version of this question:

I ended up going with ly_crect:

legend_data = list(legend_values = c(-0.545923348, -0.319339005,

-0.092754662, 0.133829681, 0.360414024, 0.586998367, 0.81358271,

1.040167053, 1.266751396, 1.493335739), width = c(0.22658,

0.22658, 0.22658, 0.22658, 0.22658, 0.22658, 0.22658, 0.22658,

0.22658, 0.22658), legend_colors = c(1L, 2L, 3L, 10L, 9L,

8L, 7L, 6L, 5L, 4L), y = c(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1))

legend = figure(height=150, tools=NULL, xlab=“Legend”, ygrid=FALSE, xgrid=FALSE,xaxes=TRUE, yaxes=FALSE , xlim=r) %>% ly_crect(x=legend_values,y=y, data=legend_data,color=legend_colors,width=width, line_alpha=0,fill_alpha=fill_alpha)

Just piling on to my thread rather than start a new one =)

Step 2 of this gradient legend was to use grid_plot to lay it out. I noticed that grid_plot over-wrote my titles with the names of the list argument, but it does so with a font that is not very strong (either it is gray or has a light line-width). Is there any way to get “Figure 1” and “Figure 2” to be bolder in the snippet below? They are surrogates for “Legend” and “Plot Title”.

data(iris)

p1 = figure() %>% ly_points(iris$Sepal.Width, iris$Sepal.Length)

p2 = figure() %>% ly_points(iris$Sepal.Length, iris$Sepal.Width)

plots = list()

plots[[“Figure 1”]] = p1

plots[[“Figure 2”]] = p2

grid_plot(plots, nrow=2, ncol=1)

Hi Jeremiah,

I'm afraid I have zero clue about R. It's amazing how I don't recognize
anything you've written as Bokeh!

Anyway, just a stab in the dark, most text things have a property
`text_font_style` that you can set to `bold` if you haven't seen that.
This may be useless. Apologies if that's the case.

I'd love to see the full code and a screenshot when you're done so I can
get more of a flavor of how to execute this in R.

Sincerely,

Sarah Bird

Hi,

I’m interested in the answer as well.

Can Bokeh heatmaps now support gradient legend?

Further, can each cell be annotated with the numeric value?

Like the following, taken from http://stanford.edu/~mwaskom/software/seaborn/generated/seaborn.heatmap.html#seaborn.heatmap

Thanks
