Urgently need a working example for dynamically adding plots

Hello,

I’m working hard to use Bokeh for a project I’m currently working on. I’ve looked around for examples of dynamically adding plots, but can’t seem to get any explanation/code that works for me. I have a page, with many options etc, and I want to press a button that will add a plot to the current layout of plots (Brushing and Linking is a huge thing here). So I’m wondering a couple things:

  1. Can this be done without the bokeh server? If so, please can you provide very simple code or point of reference for me to accomplish this without the server.

  2. Call backs etc aren’t important as of now, which made me wonder if the server is even necessary in this case.

  3. Right now I’m using components() to get the script/div to embed plots on my page, but I would like it to be more dynamic and be able to add plots with a click.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Hi,

First of all, I did not test whether it can be done with Bokeh server at this point. I think I saw some Github issues related to the dynamic addition of plots, but I may be wrong.

But if it’s possible, it should be possible without a server since plots themselves are created by BokehJS. The server just tells it how to create stuff. And components() just create all necessary JS code to initialize data and plots.

But I’d argue that having a Bokeh server, especially if you might need server callbacks, is worth trying. It’s not hard, and I find it much more pleasant than writing stuff directly in JS.

Regards,

Eugene

Do you perhaps have any example code to demonstrate doing this, without the server?

Here you go:

from bokeh.io import show, output_file, curstate
from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.models import Button, CustomJS
from bokeh.layouts import column

f1 = figure()
f1.x(x=[1, 2, 3], y=[3, 2, 1])
main_row = column(f1)

b = Button(label='Add plot',
           callback=CustomJS(args=dict(main_row=main_row),
                             code="""
    f = Bokeh.Plotting.figure();
    f.cross({x: [1, 2, 3], y: [3, 2, 1]});
    main_row.children.push(f);
    main_row.properties.children.change.emit();
"""))

main_row.children.append(b)

output_file('bokeh_add_plot_no_server.html')
curstate().file['resources'].js_components.append('bokeh-api')
show(main_row)

Ah, see that cheeky “main_row = column(f1)”? That’s because using “row” for some reason still laid out elements in a column, although a different one. Maybe I missed something, maybe there’s some bug - I don’t know.

Hey Eugene, I tried adding tools, but was unable to specify it to the figure object, where else would I supply tools?

It’s very much like you do it in Python. Just replace the string that creates a figure “f” with this:

f = Bokeh.Plotting.figure({tools: "pan,wheel_zoom,box_zoom"});

I load my data with python scripts, if I’m using that callbackJS how can I use variables from the python code in that? Is there a replace syntax such as {{}}?

If all data is already loaded, just use ColumnDataSource and add it to args of the CustomJS. This page has all relevant examples: https://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/interaction/callbacks.html
If you want to load the data on a press of the button, then you have to use Bokeh Server.

I’m working hard to use Bokeh for a project I’m currently working on. I’ve looked around for examples of dynamically adding plots, but can’t seem to get any explanation/code that works for me. I have a page, with many options etc, and I want to press a button that will add a plot to the current layout of plots (Brushing and Linking is a huge thing here). So I’m wondering a couple things:

  1. Can this be done without the bokeh server? If so, please can you provide very simple code or point of reference for me to accomplish this without the server.
  1. Call backs etc aren’t important as of now, which made me wonder if the server is even necessary in this case.
  1. Right now I’m using components() to get the script/div to embed plots on my page, but I would like it to be more dynamic and be able to add plots with a click.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Eugene, I assumed that because we are adding the plots to the same row/layout, that brushing and linking would work, however when i brush (use box_select) on one of the plots, the others do not update. Can you give me any information on why this is?

But if it’s possible, it should be possible without a server since plots themselves are created by BokehJS. The server just tells it how to create stuff. And components() just create all necessary JS code to initialize data and plots.

But I’d argue that having a Bokeh server, especially if you might need server callbacks, is worth trying. It’s not hard, and I find it much more pleasant than writing stuff directly in JS.

Did you use the same data source?
As per Linked behavior — Bokeh 3.3.2 Documentation :“Linked brushing in Bokeh is expressed by sharing data sources between glyph renderers.”

The line where you create a circle glyph should instead be:

f.circle({x: { field: 'x' }, y: { field: 'y' }, source: source})

Please read the links I provided and also this one: https://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/bokehjs.html.

Otherwise, there will be a lot of questions that could easily be avoided.

Hi,

First of all, I did not test whether it can be done with Bokeh server at this point. I think I saw some Github issues related to the dynamic addition of plots, but I may be wrong.

But if it’s possible, it should be possible without a server since plots themselves are created by BokehJS. The server just tells it how to create stuff. And components() just create all necessary JS code to initialize data and plots.

But I’d argue that having a Bokeh server, especially if you might need server callbacks, is worth trying. It’s not hard, and I find it much more pleasant than writing stuff directly in JS.

Eugene

Hello,

I’m working hard to use Bokeh for a project I’m currently working on. I’ve looked around for examples of dynamically adding plots, but can’t seem to get any explanation/code that works for me. I have a page, with many options etc, and I want to press a button that will add a plot to the current layout of plots (Brushing and Linking is a huge thing here). So I’m wondering a couple things:

  1. Can this be done without the bokeh server? If so, please can you provide very simple code or point of reference for me to accomplish this without the server.
  1. Call backs etc aren’t important as of now, which made me wonder if the server is even necessary in this case.
  1. Right now I’m using components() to get the script/div to embed plots on my page, but I would like it to be more dynamic and be able to add plots with a click.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Eugene, I had read more deeply after I posted and solved it, my apologies for poor questions. I showed my examples to the group supervisor and he’s keen on working with Bokeh. I had asked this question here before but received no response, maybe you’ll know something about it if you don’t mind helping me again.

I have a plot. Under this plot I’m required to show a histogram related to the data in the plot. This histogram should have two vertical lines, one at each end. I should then have the ability to scroll either line towards the other in an effort to constrain data or brush it, and thus brushing on the plot above it. I’m not sure if these vertical lines on the histogram are possible, I’m sure a vertical slider would make him happy as well. Do you know if my goal is possible?

Please read the links I provided and also this one: https://bokeh.pydata.org/en/latest/docs/user_guide/bokehjs.html.

Otherwise, there will be a lot of questions that could easily be avoided.

I think something similar was described here: https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/issues/3441
So yeah, it should be possible.
