Python Bokeh - Plotting Ellipses on a Graph Last Updated : 03 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 ellipses on a graph. Plotting ellipses on a graph can be done using the ellipse() method of the plotting module. plotting.figure.ellipse() Syntax : ellipse(parameters) Parameters : x : x-coordinates of the center of the ellipse y : y-coordinates of the center of the ellipse width : width of each ellipse height : height of each ellipse angle : angle of rotation of the ellipse, default is 0 angle_units : unit of the angle, default is rad fill_alpha : fill alpha value of the ellipse fill_color : fill color value of the ellipse height_units : unit of the height, default isdata line_alpha : percentage value of line alpha, default is 1 line_cap : value of line cap for the line, default is butt line_color : color of the line, default is black line_dash : value of line dash such as : solid dashed dotted dotdash dashdot default is solid line_dash_offset : value of line dash offset, default is 0 line_join : value of line join, default in bevel line_width : value of the width of the line, default is 1 name : user-supplied name for the model tags : user-supplied values for the model Other Parameters : alpha : sets all alpha keyword arguments at once color : sets all color keyword arguments at once legend_field : name of a column in the data source that should be used legend_group : name of a column in the data source that should be used legend_label : labels the legend entry muted : determines whether the glyph should be rendered as muted or not, default is False name : optional user-supplied name to attach to the renderer source : user-supplied data source view : view for filtering the data source visible : determines whether the glyph should be rendered or not, default is True x_range_name : name of an extra range to use for mapping x-coordinates y_range_name : name of an extra range to use for mapping y-coordinates level : specifies the render level order for this glyph 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 Ellipse Graph", match_aspect = True) # the points to be plotted x = 0 y = 0 # width of the ellipse width = 60 # height of the ellipse height = 20 # plotting the graph graph.ellipse(x, y, width = width, height = height) # displaying the model show(graph) Output : Example 2 :In this example we will be plotting multiple ellipses with different parameters.
