using ajax to prevent large initial download

Community Support

I’m just starting out with Bokeh (but have lots of experience with numpy, pandas, django, meteor). I have a large pandas datapanel and essentially I’d like to create a web plot with a dropdown where the dropdown triggers an ajax load of one of the panel’s dataframes and plots it. I don’t want to send the whole panel to the browser since it’s ~100mb.

Are there any working examples out there of something like this? I saw the stocks example in the bokeh-demos repository, but as far as I can tell it is broken. Please direct me to some useful resources. Thanks!

Take a look through the many examples here:
I’m guessing:
might be of interest to you (found by searching Ajax here:
)
