Trigger tools from gui elements

I’m using a Bokeh server, and I was wondering if it is possible to remove the visible tools that are aligned on the edge of the plot, and instead have them triggered by buttons on the page?

Thanks,
Nick

It might be, you’d have to play around. I’m not familiar with any examples of that.

Hi,

Here is a sketch of a possible way (untested):

Your best best for this is to add all the tools, but set toolbar_visible=False. Then you can configure a CustomJS callback yoiur your buttons that are configured with the Tools objects as arguments. In the callbacks you can set sometool.active to be True of False.

Thanks,

Bryan
