python - Trouble embedding bokeh plot -

February 15, 2014

in working on flask website allow users plot data, decided use bokeh instead of matplotlib seems built embedding, ability use dynamic data. i've scoured online examples, , bokeh documentation. in examples see command 'create_html_snippet', supposed return snippet of html can inserted template:

from bokeh.plotting import *  import numpy np   # define function return html snippet.  def build_plot():  # set output our plot.  output_file('plot.html', title='plot')  # create data our plot.  x_data = np.arange(1, 101) y_data = np.random.randint(0, 101, 100)  # create line plot our data.  line(x_data, y_data)  # create html snippet of our plot.  snippet = curplot().create_html_snippet(embed_base_url='../static/js/',                                         embed_save_loc='./static/js')  # return snippet want place in our page.  return snippet

i'm running code in conjunction main flask code below:

from flask import flask, render_template plots import build_plot  app = flask(__name__)  @app.route('/') # base url home page. def render_plot(): plot_snippet = build_plot()  return plot_snippet  if __name__ == "__main__": app.run(debug=true)

the "create_html_snippet" command not found in documentation, , anaconda version of python (created same people developing bokeh) gives following error:

attributeerror: 'plot' object has no attribute 'create_html_snippet'

it seems bokeh going through rapid development, , i'm wondering if deprecated. know current best way html snippet i'm looking for?

create_html_snippet indeed deprecated. releasing bokeh 0.5 on july 7, there improved, simplified, , documented bokeh.embed module supersedes function. if you'd try out sooner, there dev builds available now, instructions on mailing list:

https://groups.google.com/a/continuum.io/forum/#!topic/bokeh/nvxeqdyy2eq

you can see new embed module (with complete docstrings) here:

https://github.com/continuumio/bokeh/blob/master/bokeh/embed.py

as nice flask embed example here:

https://github.com/continuumio/bokeh/tree/master/examples/embed

we don't yet have capability publish sphinx docs dev builds can check out markdown files new docs here:

https://github.com/continuumio/bokeh/blob/master/sphinx/source/docs/user_guide.rst#embedding

these getting expanded more give overview now.

edit: said, create_html_snippet should still there, , functional, time being. if you'd file issue on gh can discuss or investigate more.
