Bokeh inside Google Colab

Question

Matplotlib doesn\'t give me the visualisation I want

I like the interactive features of Bokeh and I would like to see if someone was able to get it running inside Go

Answer 1

I made a library to make it easier to use bokeh in Colab

First install it

!pip install kora

Then your can plot a figure easily

from kora.bokeh import figure
p = figure(100, 200)  # h, w
p.line([1, 2, 3, 4], [6, 7, 2, 4])
p # display itself, don't need show()

If you call from kora import bokeh, it can work the same as import bokeh. Or you can use them together as well. What I did is just create _repr_html_() that help display the Figure object.

Answer 2

It did not work for me in Firefox. Switched to Chrome and it worked.

Answer 3

There's a Bokeh sample in the charts example notebook.

I suspect the important bit you'll need to add is:

from bokeh.io import output_notebook
output_notebook()

And most importantly output_notebook() must be called inside the same cell
