bokeh.models.tools¶
Bokeh comes with a number of interactive tools.
There are five types of tool interactions:
|
|
|
|
|
For the first three comprise the category of gesture tools, and only one tool for each gesture can be active at any given time. The active tool is indicated on the toolbar by a highlight next to to the tool. Actions are immediate or modal operations that are only activated when their button in the toolbar is pressed. Inspectors are passive tools that merely report information or annotate the plot in some way, and may always be active regardless of what other tools are currently active.
-
class
Action
(**kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
bokeh.models.tools.Tool
A base class for tools that are buttons in the toolbar.
Note
This is an abstract base class used to help organize the hierarchy of Bokeh model types. It is not useful to instantiate on its own.

class
BoxSelectTool
(**kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
bokeh.models.tools.Drag
The box selection tool allows users to make selections on a Plot by indicating a rectangular region by dragging the mouse or a finger over the plot region. The end of the drag event indicates the selection region is ready.
See Selected and Unselected Glyphs for information on styling selected and unselected glyphs.
-
callback

-
dimensions
¶ property type:
Enum
(Dimensions
)Which dimensions the box selection is to be free in. By default, users may freely draw selections boxes with any dimensions. If only “width” is supplied, the box will be constrained to span the entire vertical space of the plot, only the horizontal dimension can be controlled. If only “height” is supplied, the box will be constrained to span the entire horizontal space of the plot, and the vertical dimension can be controlled.

class
Drag
(**kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
bokeh.models.tools.Tool

The hover text can be customized through the
help_tooltip
attribute and the redirect site overridden as well.
-
class
HoverTool
(**kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:
bokeh.models.tools.Inspection
The hover tool is a passive inspector tool. It is generally on at all times, but can be configured in the inspector’s menu associated with the toolbar icon shown above.
By default, the hover tool displays informational tooltips whenever the cursor is directly over a glyph. The data to show comes from the glyph’s data source, and what is to be displayed is configurable with the
tooltips
attribute that maps display names to columns in the data source, or to special known variables.Here is an example of how to configure and use the hover tool:
# Add tooltip (name, field) pairs to the tool. See below for a # description of possible field values. hover.tooltips = [ ("index", "$index"), ("(x,y)", "($x, $y)"), ("radius", "@radius"), ("fill color", "$color[hex, swatch]:fill_color"), ("foo", "@foo"), ("bar", "@bar"), ("baz", "@baz{safe}"), ("total", "@total{$0,0.00}" ]
You can also supply a
Callback
to the HoverTool, to build custom interactions on hover. In this case you may want to turn the tooltips off by settingtooltips=None
.Warning
Hover tool does not currently work with the following glyphs:
- annulus
- arc
- bezier
- image
- image_rgba
- image_url
- multi_line

Enum
( Enumeration(horizontal, vertical) )Whether tooltip’s arrow should appear in the horizontal or vertical dimension.
-
callback
¶ property type:

Index: object containing the indices of the hovered points in the data source Geometry: object containing the coordinates of the hover cursor
-
line_policy
¶ property type:
Enum
( Enumeration(prev, next, nearest, interp, none) )When showing tooltips for lines, designates whether the tooltip position should be the “previous” or “next” points on the line, the “nearest” point to the current mouse position, or “interpolate” along the line to the current mouse position.
-
mode
¶ property type:
Enum
( Enumeration(mouse, hline, vline) )Whether to consider hover pointer as a point (x/y values), or a span on h or v directions.
-
names
¶ property type:
List
(String
)A list of names to query for. If set, only renderers that have a matching value for their
name
attribute will be used.
-
point_policy
¶ property type:
Enum
( Enumeration(snap_to_data, follow_mouse, none) )Whether the tooltip position should snap to the “center” (or other anchor) position of the associated glyph, or always follow the current mouse cursor position.
-
renderers
¶ property type:
List
(Instance
(Renderer
) )An explicit list of renderers to hit test again. If unset, defaults to all renderers on a plot.
-
tooltips
¶ property type:
Either
(String
,List
(Tuple
(String
,String
) ) )The (name, field) pairs describing what the hover tool should display when there is a hit.
Field names starting with “@” are interpreted as columns on the data source. For instance, “@temp” would look up values to display from the “temp” column of the data source.
Field names starting with “$” are special, known fields:
$index: index of selected point in the data source $x: x-coordinate under the cursor in data space $y: y-coordinate under the cursor in data space $sx: x-coordinate under the cursor in screen (canvas) space $sy: y-coordinate under the cursor in screen (canvas) space $color: color data from data source, with the syntax: $color[options]:field_name
. The available options are: ‘hex’ (to display the color as a hex value), and ‘swatch’ to also display a small color swatch.Additional format options
safe
and Numbro format codes can be included in a post-fix brace block on field names.[("total", "@total{$0,0.00}"), ("data", "@data{safe}")]
Including
{safe}
after a field name will override automatic escaping of the tooltip data source. Any HTML tags in the data tags will be rendered as HTML in the resulting HoverTool output. See Custom Tooltip for a more detailed example.None
is also a valid value for tooltips. This turns off the rendering of tooltips. This is mostly useful when supplying other actions on hover via the callback property.Note
The tooltips attribute can also be configured with a mapping type, e.g.
dict
orOrderedDict
. However, if adict
is used, the visual presentation order is unspecified.

If automatic download is not support by a web browser, the tool falls back to opening the generated image in a new tab or window. User then can manually save it by right clicking on the image and choosing “Save As” (or similar) menu item.

class
Scroll
(**kwargs)[source]¶ Bases:

-
behavior
¶ property type:
Enum
( Enumeration(select, inspect) )This tool can be configured to either make selections or inspections on associated data sources. The difference is that selection changes propagate across bokeh and other components (e.g. selection glyph) will be notified. Inspecions don’t act like this, so it’s useful to configure callback when setting behavior=’inspect’.
