Hi Mathias,
I had the same question recently, here is a minimal example using two methods.
- updating the annotation parameters in the server side
from bokeh.io import curdoc
from bokeh.layouts import row, widgetbox
from bokeh.models import Slider, Span, Label
from bokeh.plotting import figure
slider = Slider(start=0, end=10, value=3, step=0.1, title=‘Slider’)
plot = figure(width=700, height=250, x_range=(0,10), y_range=(-1, 1))
span = Span(location=slider.value, dimension=‘height’)
plot.add_layout(span)
label = Label(x=slider.value, y=0, x_units=‘data’, y_units=‘data’,
text="Minimum")
plot.add_layout(label)
def update_annotations(attr, old, new):
span.location = new
label.x = new
slider.on_change(‘value’, update_annotations)
curdoc().add_root(row(plot, widgetbox(slider)))
- Using a JS callback to update the annotation parameters
from bokeh.io import curdoc
from bokeh.layouts import row, widgetbox
from bokeh.models import Slider, Span, CustomJS, Label
from bokeh.plotting import figure
slider = Slider(start=0, end=10, value=3, step=0.1, title=‘Slider’)
plot = figure(width=700, height=250, x_range=(0,10), y_range=(-1, 1))
span = Span(location=slider.value, dimension=‘height’)
plot.add_layout(span)
label = Label(x=slider.value, y=0, x_units=‘data’, y_units=‘data’,
text="Minimum")
plot.add_layout(label)
slider.callback = CustomJS(args=dict(span=span, label=label, slider=slider), code="""
span.location = slider.value
label.x = slider.value
“”")
curdoc().add_root(row(plot, widgetbox(slider)))
