Customizing glyphs
When creating the preceding scatter plot, we used the circle marker to indicate the points on the plot. Bokeh provides us with a wide variety of markers that you can use instead of the circle, and they are as follows:
- cross() - x() - diamond() - diamond_cross() - circle_x() - circle_cross() - triangle() - inverted_triangle() - square() - square_x() - square_cross() - asterisk()
You can also add labels to the x-and y-axes by using the following code:
plot.figure(x_axis_label = "Label name of x axis", y_axis_label = "Label name of y axis")
You can customize the transparency of the points on a scatter plot by using the following code:
plot.circle(x, y, alpha = 0.5)
The alpha argument takes in a range of values between 0 to 1, with 0 being completely transparent and 1 being opaque.
