Python Bokeh - Plotting Patches on a Graph Last Updated : 10 Jul, 2020 Comments Improve Suggest changes Like Article Like Report Bokeh is a Python interactive data visualization. It renders its plots using HTML and JavaScript. It targets modern web browsers for presentation providing elegant, concise construction of novel graphics with high-performance interactivity. Bokeh can be used to plot patches on a graph. Plotting patches on a graph can be done using the patch() method of the plotting module. plotting.figure.patch() Syntax : patch(parameters) Parameters : x : x-coordinates of the patch y : y-coordinates of the patch Returns : an object of class GlyphRenderer Example 1 : In this example we will be using the default values for plotting the graph. Python3 # importing the modules from bokeh.plotting import figure, output_file, show # file to save the model output_file("gfg.html") # instantiating the figure object graph = figure(title = "Bokeh Patch Graph") # the points to be plotted x = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [5, 2, 8, 5, 0, 10] # plotting the graph graph.patch(x, y) # displaying the model show(graph) Output : Example 2 : In this example we will be plotting the patch with various other parameters Python3 # importing the modules from bokeh.plotting import figure, output_file, show # file to save the model output_file("gfg.html") # instantiating the figure object graph = figure(title = "Bokeh Patch Graph") # name of the x-axis graph.xaxis.axis_label = "x-axis" # name of the y-axis graph.yaxis.axis_label = "y-axis" # points to be plotted x = [0, 0, 1, 1, 4, 2, 8, 4] y = [2.5, 0.5, 0.5, 2.5, 5, 9, 1, 0] # color value of the patch color = "yellow" # fill alpha value of the patch fill_alpha = 0.5 # name of the legend legend_label = "Sample Patch" # plotting the graph graph.patch(x, y, color = color, fill_alpha = fill_alpha, legend_label = legend_label) # displaying the model show(graph) Output : Create Quiz Comment Y Yash_R Follow 0 Improve Y Yash_R Follow 0 Improve Article Tags : Data Visualization AI-ML-DS Python-Bokeh Python Bokeh-plotting-figure-class AI-ML-DS With Python +1 More Explore What is Data Visualization and Why is It Important? 4 min read Data Visualization using Matplotlib in Python 11 min read Data Visualization with Seaborn - Python 9 min read Data Visualization with Pandas 6 min read Plotly for Data Visualization in Python 12 min read Data Visualization using Plotnine and ggplot2 in Python 6 min read Introduction to Altair in Python 4 min read Python - Data visualization using Bokeh 4 min read Pygal Introduction 5 min read Jobs Related to Data Visualization 5 min read Like
