Stacked bar plot - controlling colors

Hi,

I am trying to make a hbar_stack plot for to visualize following properties:

11 entries along y-axis (name1, name2, …) with 15 values for each entry to be plotted along the y-axis as bars.

Each value come from one of 5 categories: [‘A’,‘B’,‘C’,‘D’,‘E’], I want the color of the bar to represent the respective category.

So far I’ve followed the stacked_split example from

I can plot the data as I’ve intended, but not been able to color the bars. My problem is similar, but instead of having imports from each year, I have imports from different countries wich may not be the same for all fruits. I want the color to represent countries!

I’ve tried looking at the autompg example from the same page as I figured it could have some clues to my problem, but haven’t been able to apply the color handling to hbar_stack.

I am fairly new to Bokeh, but so far I am really enjoying it and I think the documentation is great. Reading older comments on Bokeh, it is clear that someone must have done a good job at improving both documentation and use friendly-ness.

Hi,

If you have a column in your data source that has the categories, then you should be able to do something like:

  color=factor_cmap('colname', palette=list_of_colors, factors=['A','B','C','D','E'])

See e.g. the second example here:

  https://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/categorical.html#colors

Thank you for your reply

I am having trouble applying your suggestion to my plot, as it is a stacked plot and the example only covers a regular bar plot.

When passing data to a stacked bar plot each stack have its own source column of data, so I tried passing a list of column names of columns with factors instead of name of a single column to factor_cmap, but got an error.

Hi,

The vbar_stack and hbar_stack explicitly do not have separate data sources for the glyphs they create. So I am not really sure what you are doing. At this point, in order for us to be able to help you, you really need to prove a complete, minimal example script that demonstrates the specific task you are having trouble with.

Thanks,

Bryan
