updating bokeh plot with a bokeh widget in jupyter notebook

Question

I want to use bokeh widgets from within a jupyter notebook to update a bokeh plot. My (somewhat hacky) code looks like this:

from bokeh.plotting import figur         


        

Answer 1

I got the plot to update as expected by displaying the figure and the slider widget within a bokeh.layouts.row layout:

from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.io import output_notebook, push_notebook, show
from bokeh.models import CustomJS, Slider
from bokeh.layouts import row

output_notebook()

power = 0.5
x = [1,2,3]
y = [i**power for i in x]

fig = figure()
plt = fig.circle(x, y)

def update_plot(power):
    x = plt.data_source.data['x']
    plt.data_source.data['y'] = [i**power for i in x]
    push_notebook(handle=bokeh_handle)  


##### new notebook cell #####

callback = CustomJS(code="""
if (IPython.notebook.kernel !== undefined) {
    var kernel = IPython.notebook.kernel;
    cmd = "update_plot(" + cb_obj.value + ")";
    kernel.execute(cmd, {}, {});
}
""")

slider = Slider(start=0.1, 
                end=1,
                value=1,
                step=.05,
                title="power",
                callback=callback)
bokeh_handle = show(row(fig, slider), notebook_handle=True)
