Bokeh
Bokeh is a Python data visualization library and interactive plotting framework used to create high-performance graphics and data dashboards that render in web browsers. It serves as a tool for generating standalone HTML documents, embedded components for digital notebooks, and full-stack web applications powered by a Python backend.
The project distinguishes itself through its ability to handle large or streaming datasets while maintaining smooth interactivity. It enables linked brushing across multiple views, allowing data selected in one plot to automatically highlight corresponding data in others.
The system covers broad capability areas including the composition of complex data analysis dashboards and the customization of visual appearances through themes and styling. It provides a high-level programming interface for rendering interactive charts and exporting visualizations as static images or HTML files.
Features
- Plotting and Visualization - Provides a high-level Python programming interface to generate interactive plots and data applications that render in web browsers.
- Python Visualization - Serves as a primary Python library for creating high-performance interactive plots and data dashboards that render in web browsers.
- High-Performance Visualizers - Maintains high performance when rendering large or streaming datasets using optimized web graphics.
- Data Visualization Dashboards - Enables the composition of interactive plots and controls into comprehensive visual applications for complex data analysis.
- Interactive Data Charting - Enables the creation of high-performance, interactive charts and graphs in a web browser using Python.
- Client Side Rendering - Uses a dedicated JavaScript library to render interactive graphics directly in the browser using HTML5 Canvas or WebGL.
- Interactive Plotting Frameworks - Provides a framework for rendering high-performance graphics and streaming datasets in browsers via a Python backend.
- Server-Side Interaction Callbacks - Triggers Python functions based on browser-side UI interactions by mapping JavaScript events to server-side handlers.
