bokeh.core.compat¶

Implement compatibility between Bokeh and Matplotlib.

All of the functions and classes in bokeh.core.compat are internal implementation details, and not user-facing. For information on the public API for MPL compatibility, see bokeh.mpl.

THIS MODULE IN ITS CURRENT FORM IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED

Warning

Currently, compatibility is implemented using the third-party mplexporter library. This library does not provide a full interface to all of Matplotlib functionality, and is no longer being actively maintained. Accordingly Bokeh’s Matplotlib compatibility is extremely limited.

A full JSON serialization interface for Matplotlib is being planned in MEP25. When this proposal is implemented is completed, work can proceed on a more comprehensive and maintainable integration. Until that time, no further improvements or fixes are planned for Bokeh MPL integration, and it is provided AS-IS, in case it happens to be useful.
