Bokeh – Developing with JavaScript

Bokeh - Developing with JavaScript

Bokeh – Developing with JavaScript. The Bokeh Python library, and libraries for Other Languages such as R, Scala, and Julia, primarily interacts with BokehJS at a high level. A Python programmer does not have to worry about JavaScript or web development. However, one can use BokehJS API, to do pure JavaScript development using BokehJS directly.

NumFocus sponsored by Bokeh project https://numfocus.org/.

BokehJS objects such as glyphs and widgets are built more or less similar as in Bokeh Python API. Typically, any Python ClassName is available as Bokeh.ClassName from JavaScript. For example Bokeh – Developing with JavaScript

xrange = Range1d(start=-0.5, end=20.5)

Obtained with BokehJS as −

var xrange = new Bokeh.Range1d({ start: -0.5, end: 20.5 });

Following JavaScript code when embedded in an HTML file renders a simple line plot in the browser.

First include all BokehJS libraries in <head>..</head> secion of web page as below

<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.pydata.org/bokeh/release/bokeh-1.3.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.pydata.org/bokeh/release/bokeh-widgets-1.3.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.pydata.org/bokeh/release/bokeh-tables-1.3.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.pydata.org/bokeh/release/bokeh-gl-1.3.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.pydata.org/bokeh/release/bokeh-api-1.3.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.pydata.org/bokeh/release/bokeh-api-1.3.4.min.js"></script>
</head>

In the body section following snippets of JavaScript construct various parts of a Bokeh Plot.

<script>
// create some data and a ColumnDataSource
var x = Bokeh.LinAlg.linspace(-0.5, 20.5, 10);
var y = x.map(function (v) { return v * 0.5 + 3.0; });
var source = new Bokeh.ColumnDataSource({ data: { x: x, y: y } });
// make the plot
var plot = new Bokeh.Plot({
   title: "BokehJS Plot",
   plot_width: 400,
   plot_height: 400
});

// add axes to the plot
var xaxis = new Bokeh.LinearAxis({ axis_line_color: null });
var yaxis = new Bokeh.LinearAxis({ axis_line_color: null });
plot.add_layout(xaxis, "below");
plot.add_layout(yaxis, "left");

// add a Line glyph
var line = new Bokeh.Line({
   x: { field: "x" },
   y: { field: "y" },
   line_color: "#666699",
   line_width: 2
});
plot.add_glyph(line, source);

Bokeh.Plotting.show(plot);
</script>

Save the above code as a web page and open it in a browser of your choice.
