install_notebook_hook(notebook_type: Literal['jupyter', 'zeppelin'], load: Load, show_doc: ShowDoc, show_app: ShowApp, overwrite: bool = False) → None[source]#

Install a new notebook display hook.

Bokeh comes with support for Jupyter notebooks built-in. However, there are other kinds of notebooks in use by different communities. This function provides a mechanism for other projects to instruct Bokeh how to display content in other notebooks.

This function is primarily of use to developers wishing to integrate Bokeh with new notebook types.

Parameters

notebook_type (str) –
A name for the notebook type, e.e. 'Jupyter' or 'Zeppelin'

If the name has previously been installed, a RuntimeError will be raised, unless overwrite=True

load (callable) –

A function for loading BokehJS in a notebook type. The function will be called with the following arguments:

load(
    resources,   # A Resources object for how to load BokehJS
    verbose,     # Whether to display verbose loading banner
    hide_banner, # Whether to hide the output banner entirely
    load_timeout # Time after which to report a load fail error
)

show_doc (callable) –
A function for displaying Bokeh standalone documents in the notebook type. This function will be called with the following arguments:
```
show_doc(
    obj,            # the Bokeh object to display
    state,          # current bokeh.io "state"
    notebook_handle # whether a notebook handle was requested
)
```
If the notebook platform is capable of supporting in-place updates to plots then this function may return an opaque notebook handle that can be used for that purpose. The handle will be returned by show(), and can be used by as appropriate to update plots, etc. by additional functions in the library that installed the hooks.

show_app (callable) –

A function for displaying Bokeh applications in the notebook type. This function will be called with the following arguments:

show_app(
    app,          # the Bokeh Application to display
    state,        # current bokeh.io "state"
    notebook_url, # URL to the current active notebook page
    **kw          # any backend-specific keywords passed as-is
)

overwrite (bool, optional) – Whether to allow an existing hook to be overwritten by a new definition (default: False)

Returns

None

Raises

RuntimeError – If notebook_type is already installed and overwrite=False

output_file(filename: PathLike, title: str = 'Bokeh Plot', mode: ResourcesMode | None = None, root_dir: PathLike | None = None) → None[source]#

Configure the default output state to generate output saved to a file when show() is called.

title (str, optional) – a title for the HTML document (default: “Bokeh Plot”)
mode (str, optional) – how to include BokehJS (default: 'cdn') One of: 'inline', 'cdn', 'relative(-dev)' or 'absolute(-dev)'. See bokeh.resources.Resources for more details.
root_dir (str, optional) – root directory to use for ‘absolute’ resources. (default: None) This value is ignored for other resource types, e.g. INLINE or CDN.

Returns

None

Note

Generally, this should be called at the beginning of an interactive session or the top of a script.

Warning

This output file will be overwritten on every save, e.g., each time show() or save() is invoked.

output_notebook(resources: Resources | None = None, verbose: bool = False, hide_banner: bool = False, load_timeout: int = 5000, notebook_type: NotebookType = 'jupyter') → None[source]#

Configure the default output state to generate output in notebook cells when show() is called. Note that show() may be called multiple times in a single cell to display multiple objects in the output cell. The objects will be displayed in order.

Parameters

resources (Resource, optional) – How and where to load BokehJS from (default: CDN)
verbose (bool, optional) – whether to display detailed BokehJS banner (default: False)
hide_banner (bool, optional) – whether to hide the Bokeh banner (default: False)

Returns

None

Note

Generally, this should be called at the beginning of an interactive session or the top of a script.

push_notebook(*, document: Document | None = None, state: State | None = None, handle: CommsHandle | None = None) → None[source]#

Update Bokeh plots in a Jupyter notebook output cells with new data or property values.

When working the the notebook, the show function can be passed the argument notebook_handle=True, which will cause it to return a handle object that can be used to update the Bokeh output later. When push_notebook is called, any property updates (e.g. plot titles or data source values, etc.) since the last call to push_notebook or the original show call are applied to the Bokeh output in the previously rendered Jupyter output cell.

Several example notebooks can be found in the GitHub repository in the examples/howto/notebook_comms directory.

Parameters

document (Document, optional) – A Document to push from. If None uses curdoc(). (default: None)
state (State, optional) – A State object. If None, then the current default state (set by output_file(), etc.) is used. (default: None)

Returns

None

Examples

Typical usage is typically similar to this:

from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.io import output_notebook, push_notebook, show

output_notebook()

plot = figure()
plot.circle([1,2,3], [4,6,5])

handle = show(plot, notebook_handle=True)

# Update the plot title in the earlier cell
plot.title.text = "New Title"
push_notebook(handle=handle)

reset_output(state: State | None = None) → None[source]#

Clear the default state of all output modes.

Returns: None

Save an HTML file with the data for the current document.

Will fall back to the default output state (or an explicitly provided State object) for filename, resources, or title if they are not provided. If the filename is not given and not provided via output state, it is derived from the script name (e.g. /foo/myplot.py will create /foo/myplot.html)

Parameters

obj (LayoutDOM object) – a Layout (Row/Column), Plot or Widget object to display
filename (PathLike, e.g. str, Path, optional) – filename to save document under (default: None) If None, use the default state configuration.
resources (Resources or ResourcesMode, optional) – A Resources config to use (default: None) If None, use the default state configuration, if there is one. otherwise use resources.INLINE.
title (str, optional) – a title for the HTML document (default: None) If None, use the default state title value, if there is one. Otherwise, use “Bokeh Plot”
template (Template, optional) – HTML document template (default: FILE) A Jinja2 Template, see bokeh.core.templates.FILE for the required template parameters
state (State, optional) – A State object. If None, then the current default implicit state is used. (default: None).

the filename where the HTML file is saved.

Return type

str

show(obj: LayoutDOM | Application | ModifyDoc, browser: str | None = None, new: BrowserTarget = 'tab', notebook_handle: bool = False, notebook_url: str = 'localhost:8888', **kwargs: Any) → CommsHandle | None[source]#

Immediately display a Bokeh object or application.

show() may be called multiple times in a single Jupyter notebook cell to display multiple objects. The objects are displayed in order.

Parameters

obj (LayoutDOM or Application or callable) –
A Bokeh object to display.

Bokeh plots, widgets, layouts (i.e. rows and columns) may be passed to show in order to display them. If output_file() has been called, the output will be to an HTML file, which is also opened in a new browser window or tab. If output_notebook() has been called in a Jupyter notebook, the output will be inline in the associated notebook output cell.

In a Jupyter notebook, a Bokeh application or callable may also be passed. A callable will be turned into an Application using a FunctionHandler. The application will be run and displayed inline in the associated notebook output cell.
browser (str, optional) –
Specify the browser to use to open output files(default: None)

For file output, the browser argument allows for specifying which browser to display in, e.g. “safari”, “firefox”, “opera”, “windows-default”. Not all platforms may support this option, see the documentation for the standard library webbrowser module for more information
new (str, optional) –
Specify the browser mode to use for output files (default: “tab”)

For file output, opens or raises the browser window showing the current output file. If new is ‘tab’, then opens a new tab. If new is ‘window’, then opens a new window.
notebook_handle (bool, optional) –
Whether to create a notebook interaction handle (default: False)

For notebook output, toggles whether a handle which can be used with push_notebook is returned. Note that notebook handles only apply to standalone plots, layouts, etc. They do not apply when showing Applications in the notebook.
notebook_url (URL, optional) –
Location of the Jupyter notebook page (default: “localhost:8888”)

When showing Bokeh applications, the Bokeh server must be explicitly configured to allow connections originating from different URLs. This parameter defaults to the standard notebook host and port. If you are running on a different location, you will need to supply this value for the application to display properly. If no protocol is supplied in the URL, e.g. if it is of the form “localhost:8888”, then “http” will be used.

notebook_url can also be a function that takes one int for the bound server port. If the port is provided, the function needs to generate the full public URL to the bokeh server. If None is passed, the function is to generate the origin URL.

Some parameters are only useful when certain output modes are active:

The browser and new parameters only apply when output_file() is active.
The notebook_handle parameter only applies when output_notebook() is active, and non-Application objects are being shown. It is only supported in Jupyter notebook and raises an exception for other notebook types when it is True.
The notebook_url parameter only applies when showing Bokeh Applications in a Jupyter notebook.
Any additional keyword arguments are passed to Server when showing a Bokeh app (added in version 1.1)

Returns: When in a Jupyter notebook (with output_notebook() enabled) and notebook_handle=True, returns a handle that can be used by push_notebook, None otherwise.

If you are running on a different location, you will need to supply this value for the application to display properly. If no protocol is supplied in the URL, e.g. if it is of the form “localhost:8888”, then “http” will be used.

notebook_url can also be a function that takes one int for the bound server port. If the port is provided, the function needs to generate the full public URL to the bokeh server. If None is passed, the function is to generate the origin URL.

Some parameters are only useful when certain output modes are active:

The browser and new parameters only apply when output_file() is active.
The notebook_handle parameter only applies when output_notebook() is active, and non-Application objects are being shown. It is only supported in Jupyter notebook and raises an exception for other notebook types when it is True.
The notebook_url parameter only applies when showing Bokeh Applications in a Jupyter notebook.
Any additional keyword arguments are passed to Server when showing a Bokeh app (added in version 1.1)

Returns: When in a Jupyter notebook (with output_notebook() enabled) and notebook_handle=True, returns a handle that can be used by push_notebook, None otherwise.

bokeh.io.state#

Encapsulate implicit state that is useful for Bokeh plotting APIs.

Note

While State objects can also be manipulated explicitly, they are automatically configured when the output functions like output_file() from bokeh.io are used. Therefore, manipulating State objects is usually not necessary.

Generating output for Bokeh plots requires coordinating several things:

Document: Groups together Bokeh models that may be shared between plots (e.g., range or data source objects) into one common structure.
Resources: Control how JavaScript and CSS for the client library BokehJS are included and used in the generated output.

It is possible to handle the configuration of these things manually, and some examples of doing this can be found in examples/models directory. When developing sophisticated applications, it may be necessary or desirable to work at this level. However, for general use this would quickly become burdensome. This module provides a State class that encapsulates these objects and ensures their proper configuration in many common usage scenarios.

class State[source]#

Manage state related to controlling Bokeh output.

Public Data Attributes:

`document`	A default `Document` to use for all output operations.
`file`	A structure with the default configuration for file output (READ ONLY)
`notebook`	Whether to generate notebook output on show operations.
`notebook_type`	Notebook type

Public Methods:

`__init__`()
`output_file`(filename[, title, mode, root_dir])	Configure output to a standalone HTML file.
`output_notebook`([notebook_type])	Generate output in notebook cells.
`reset`()	Deactivate all currently active output modes and set `curdoc()` to a fresh empty `Document`.

output_file(filename: PathLike, title: str = 'Bokeh Plot', mode: ResourcesMode | None = None, root_dir: PathLike | None = None) → None[source]#

Configure output to a standalone HTML file.

Calling output_file does not clear the effects of any other calls to output_notebook(), etc. It adds an additional output destination (publishing to HTML files). Any other active output modes continue to be active.

Parameters

filename (PathLike, e.g. str, Path) – a filename for saving the HTML document
title (str, optional) – a title for the HTML document
mode (str, optional) –
how to include BokehJS (default: 'cdn')

One of: 'inline', 'cdn', 'relative(-dev)' or 'absolute(-dev)'. See Resources for more details.
root_dir (str, optional) –
root dir to use for absolute resources (default: None)

This value is ignored for other resource types, e.g. INLINE or CDN.

Warning

The specified output file will be overwritten on every save, e.g., every time show() or save() is called.

output_notebook(notebook_type: NotebookType = 'jupyter') → None[source]#

Generate output in notebook cells.

Calling output_notebook does not clear the effects of any other calls to output_file(), etc. It adds an additional output destination (publishing to notebook output cells). Any other active output modes continue to be active.

Returns: None

reset() → None[source]#

Deactivate all currently active output modes and set curdoc() to a fresh empty Document.

Subsequent calls to show() will not render until a new output mode is activated.

Returns: None

property document: Document#: A default Document to use for all output operations.

property file: FileConfig | None#

A structure with the default configuration for file output (READ ONLY)

See FileConfig.

property notebook: bool#: Whether to generate notebook output on show operations. (READ ONLY)

property notebook_type: NotebookType | None#: Notebook type

curstate() → State[source]#

Return the current State object

Returns: the current default State object
Return type: State

bokeh.io.util#

default_filename(ext: str) → str[source]#

Generate a default filename with a given extension, attempting to use the filename of the currently running process, if possible.

If the filename of the current process is not available (or would not be writable), then a temporary file with the given extension is returned.

Parameters: ext (str) – the desired extension for the filename
Returns: str
Raises: RuntimeError – If the extensions requested is “.py”

detect_current_filename() → str | None[source]#

Attempt to return the filename of the currently running Python process

Returns None if the filename cannot be detected.

temp_filename(ext: str) → str[source]#: Generate a temporary, writable filename with the given extension
