class holoviews.core.AdjointLayout(data, **params)[source]#

Bases: Layoutable, Dimensioned

An AdjointLayout provides a convenient container to lay out some marginal plots next to a primary plot. This is often useful to display the marginal distributions of a plot next to the primary plot. AdjointLayout accepts a list of up to three elements, which are laid out as follows with the names ‘main’, ‘top’ and ‘right’:

3 | |

|___________|___| | | | 1: main | | | 2: right | 1 | 2 | 3: top | | | |___________|___|

class holoviews.core.Dimension(spec, **params)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

Dimension objects are used to specify some important general features that may be associated with a collection of values.

For instance, a Dimension may specify that a set of numeric values actually correspond to ‘Height’ (dimension name), in units of meters, with a descriptive label ‘Height of adult males’.

All dimensions object have a name that identifies them and a label containing a suitable description. If the label is not explicitly specified it matches the name.

These two parameters define the core identity of the dimension object and must match if two dimension objects are to be considered equivalent. All other parameters are considered optional metadata and are not used when testing for equality.

Unlike all the other parameters, these core parameters can be used to construct a Dimension object from a tuple. This format is sufficient to define an identical Dimension:

Dimension(‘a’, label=’Dimension A’) == Dimension((‘a’, ‘Dimension A’))

Everything else about a dimension is considered to reflect non-semantic preferences. Examples include the default value (which may be used in a visualization to set an initial slider position), how the value is to rendered as text (which may be used to specify the printed floating point precision) or a suitable range of values to consider for a particular analysis.

Units#

Full unit support with automated conversions are on the HoloViews roadmap. Once rich unit objects are supported, the unit (or more specifically the type of unit) will be part of the core dimension specification used to establish equality.

Until this feature is implemented, there are two auxiliary parameters that hold some partial information about the unit: the name of the unit and whether or not it is cyclic. The name of the unit is used as part of the pretty-printed representation and knowing whether it is cyclic is important for certain operations.

class holoviews.core.Dimensioned(data, kdims=None, vdims=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: LabelledData

Dimensioned is a base class that allows the data contents of a class to be associated with dimensions. The contents associated with dimensions may be partitioned into one of three types

  • key dimensions: These are the dimensions that can be indexed via

    the __getitem__ method. Dimension objects supporting key dimensions must support indexing over these dimensions and may also support slicing. This list ordering of dimensions describes the positional components of each multi-dimensional indexing operation.

    For instance, if the key dimension names are ‘weight’ followed by ‘height’ for Dimensioned object ‘obj’, then obj[80,175] indexes a weight of 80 and height of 175.

    Accessed using either kdims.

  • value dimensions: These dimensions correspond to any data held

    on the Dimensioned object not in the key dimensions. Indexing by value dimension is supported by dimension name (when there are multiple possible value dimensions); no slicing semantics is supported and all the data associated with that dimension will be returned at once. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either vdims.

  • deep dimensions: These are dynamically computed dimensions that

    belong to other Dimensioned objects that are nested in the data. Objects that support this should enable the _deep_indexable flag. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either ddims.

Dimensioned class support generalized methods for finding the range and type of values along a particular Dimension. The range method relies on the appropriate implementation of the dimension_values methods on subclasses.

The index of an arbitrary dimension is its positional index in the list of all dimensions, starting with the key dimensions, followed by the value dimensions and ending with the deep dimensions.

Parameters inherited from:

group = param.String(allow_refs=False, constant=True, default=’Dimensioned’, label=’Group’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f29e8c40>)

cdims = param.Dict(allow_refs=False, class_=<class ‘dict’>, default={}, label=’Cdims’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f25bcbb0>)

The constant dimensions defined as a dictionary of Dimension:value pairs providing additional dimension information about the object. Aliased with constant_dimensions.

kdims = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), constant=True, default=[], label=’Kdims’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2961cc0>)

The key dimensions defined as list of dimensions that may be used in indexing (and potential slicing) semantics. The order of the dimensions listed here determines the semantics of each component of a multi-dimensional indexing operation. Aliased with key_dimensions.

class holoviews.core.DynamicMap(callback, initial_items=None, streams=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: HoloMap

A DynamicMap is a type of HoloMap where the elements are dynamically generated by a callable. The callable is invoked with values associated with the key dimensions or with values supplied by stream parameters.

Parameters inherited from:

kdims = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), constant=True, default=[], label=’Kdims’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2d1b5b0>)

The key dimensions of a DynamicMap map to the arguments of the callback. This mapping can be by position or by name.

callback = param.ClassSelector(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, class_=<class ‘holoviews.core.spaces.Callable’>, constant=True, label=’Callback’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2d195a0>)

The callable used to generate the elements. The arguments to the callable includes any number of declared key dimensions as well as any number of stream parameters defined on the input streams. If the callable is an instance of Callable it will be used directly, otherwise it will be automatically wrapped in one.

streams = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), constant=True, default=[], label=’Streams’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2d1b5b0>)

List of Stream instances to associate with the DynamicMap. The set of parameter values across these streams will be supplied as keyword arguments to the callback when the events are received, updating the streams. Can also be supplied as a dictionary that maps parameters or panel widgets to callback argument names that will then be automatically converted to the equivalent list format.

cache_size = param.Integer(allow_refs=False, bounds=(1, None), default=500, inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Cache size’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2d195a0>)

The number of entries to cache for fast access. This is an LRU cache where the least recently used item is overwritten once the cache is full.

positional_stream_args = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, constant=True, default=False, label=’Positional stream args’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2d1b5b0>)

If False, stream parameters are passed to the callback as keyword arguments. If True, stream parameters are passed to callback as positional arguments. Each positional argument is a dict containing the contents of a stream. The positional stream arguments follow the positional arguments for each kdim, and they are ordered to match the order of the DynamicMap’s streams list.

class holoviews.core.GridMatrix(initial_items=None, kdims=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: GridSpace

GridMatrix is container type for heterogeneous Element types laid out in a grid.

class holoviews.core.MultiDimensionalMapping(initial_items=None, kdims=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: Dimensioned

An MultiDimensionalMapping is a Dimensioned mapping (like a dictionary or array) that uses fixed-length multidimensional keys. This behaves like a sparse N-dimensional array that does not require a dense sampling over the multidimensional space.

If the underlying value for each (key, value) pair also supports indexing (such as a dictionary, array, or list), fully qualified (deep) indexing may be used from the top level, with the first N dimensions of the index selecting a particular Dimensioned object and the remaining dimensions indexing into that object.

For instance, for a MultiDimensionalMapping with dimensions “Year” and “Month” and underlying values that are 2D floating-point arrays indexed by (r,c), a 2D array may be indexed with x[2000,3] and a single floating-point number may be indexed as x[2000,3,1,9].

In practice, this class is typically only used as an abstract base class, because the NdMapping subclass extends it with a range of useful slicing methods for selecting subsets of the data. Even so, keeping the slicing support separate from the indexing and data storage methods helps make both classes easier to understand.

Parameters inherited from:

group = param.String(allow_refs=False, constant=True, default=’MultiDimensionalMapping’, label=’Group’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2edb340>)

class holoviews.core.Operation(*, dynamic, group, input_ranges, link_inputs, streams, name)[source]#

Bases: ParameterizedFunction

An Operation process an Element or HoloMap at the level of individual elements or overlays. If a holomap is passed in as input, a processed holomap is returned as output where the individual elements have been transformed accordingly. An Operation may turn overlays in new elements or vice versa.

An Operation can be set to be dynamic, which will return a DynamicMap with a callback that will apply the operation dynamically. An Operation may also supply a list of Stream classes on a streams parameter, which can allow dynamic control over the parameters on the operation.

group = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’Operation’, label=’Group’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f224c820>)

The group string used to identify the output of the Operation. By default this should match the operation name.

dynamic = param.ObjectSelector(allow_refs=False, default=’default’, label=’Dynamic’, names={}, nested_refs=False, objects=[‘default’, True, False], rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2d39d50>)

Whether the operation should be applied dynamically when a specific frame is requested, specified as a Boolean. If set to ‘default’ the mode will be determined based on the input type, i.e. if the data is a DynamicMap it will stay dynamic.

input_ranges = param.ClassSelector(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, class_=(<class ‘dict’>, <class ‘tuple’>), default={}, label=’Input ranges’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2950e80>)

Ranges to be used for input normalization (if applicable) in a format appropriate for the Normalization.ranges parameter. By default, no normalization is applied. If key-wise normalization is required, a 2-tuple may be supplied where the first component is a Normalization.ranges list and the second component is Normalization.keys.

link_inputs = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=False, label=’Link inputs’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2d3a8c0>)

If the operation is dynamic, whether or not linked streams should be transferred from the operation inputs for backends that support linked streams. For example if an operation is applied to a DynamicMap with an RangeXY, this switch determines whether the corresponding visualization should update this stream with range changes originating from the newly generated axes.

streams = param.ClassSelector(allow_refs=False, class_=(<class ‘dict’>, <class ‘list’>), default=[], label=’Streams’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52f2512920>)

dimension Module#

Inheritance diagram of holoviews.core.dimension

Provides Dimension objects for tracking the properties of a value, axis or map dimension. Also supplies the Dimensioned abstract baseclass for classes that accept Dimension values.

class holoviews.core.dimension.Dimension(spec, **params)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

Dimension objects are used to specify some important general features that may be associated with a collection of values.

For instance, a Dimension may specify that a set of numeric values actually correspond to ‘Height’ (dimension name), in units of meters, with a descriptive label ‘Height of adult males’.

All dimensions object have a name that identifies them and a label containing a suitable description. If the label is not explicitly specified it matches the name.

These two parameters define the core identity of the dimension object and must match if two dimension objects are to be considered equivalent. All other parameters are considered optional metadata and are not used when testing for equality.

Unlike all the other parameters, these core parameters can be used to construct a Dimension object from a tuple. This format is sufficient to define an identical Dimension:

Dimension(‘a’, label=’Dimension A’) == Dimension((‘a’, ‘Dimension A’))

Everything else about a dimension is considered to reflect non-semantic preferences. Examples include the default value (which may be used in a visualization to set an initial slider position), how the value is to rendered as text (which may be used to specify the printed floating point precision) or a suitable range of values to consider for a particular analysis.

Units#

Full unit support with automated conversions are on the HoloViews roadmap. Once rich unit objects are supported, the unit (or more specifically the type of unit) will be part of the core dimension specification used to establish equality.

Until this feature is implemented, there are two auxiliary parameters that hold some partial information about the unit: the name of the unit and whether or not it is cyclic. The name of the unit is used as part of the pretty-printed representation and knowing whether it is cyclic is important for certain operations.

label = param.String(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, label=’Label’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52ea3b3ca0>)

Unrestricted label used to describe the dimension. A label should succinctly describe the dimension and may contain any characters, including Unicode and LaTeX expression.

cyclic = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=False, label=’Cyclic’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52ea3b3880>)

Whether the range of this feature is cyclic such that the maximum allowed value (defined by the range parameter) is continuous with the minimum allowed value.

default = param.Parameter(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, label=’Default’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52ea3b2440>)

Default value of the Dimension which may be useful for widget or other situations that require an initial or default value.

Optional floating point step specifying how frequently the underlying space should be sampled. May be used to define a discrete sampling over the range.

type = param.Parameter(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, label=’Type’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52ea3b0d90>)

Optional type associated with the Dimension values. The type may be an inbuilt constructor (such as int, str, float) or a custom class object.

unit = param.String(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, label=’Unit’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52ea3b1180>)

class holoviews.core.dimension.Dimensioned(data, kdims=None, vdims=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: LabelledData

Dimensioned is a base class that allows the data contents of a class to be associated with dimensions. The contents associated with dimensions may be partitioned into one of three types

  • key dimensions: These are the dimensions that can be indexed via

    the __getitem__ method. Dimension objects supporting key dimensions must support indexing over these dimensions and may also support slicing. This list ordering of dimensions describes the positional components of each multi-dimensional indexing operation.

    For instance, if the key dimension names are ‘weight’ followed by ‘height’ for Dimensioned object ‘obj’, then obj[80,175] indexes a weight of 80 and height of 175.

    Accessed using either kdims.

  • value dimensions: These dimensions correspond to any data held

    on the Dimensioned object not in the key dimensions. Indexing by value dimension is supported by dimension name (when there are multiple possible value dimensions); no slicing semantics is supported and all the data associated with that dimension will be returned at once. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either vdims.

  • deep dimensions: These are dynamically computed dimensions that

    belong to other Dimensioned objects that are nested in the data. Objects that support this should enable the _deep_indexable flag. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either ddims.

Dimensioned class support generalized methods for finding the range and type of values along a particular Dimension. The range method relies on the appropriate implementation of the dimension_values methods on subclasses.

The index of an arbitrary dimension is its positional index in the list of all dimensions, starting with the key dimensions, followed by the value dimensions and ending with the deep dimensions.

class holoviews.core.dimension.LabelledData(data, id=None, plot_id=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

LabelledData is a mix-in class designed to introduce the group and label parameters (and corresponding methods) to any class containing data. This class assumes that the core data contents will be held in the attribute called ‘data’.

Used together, group and label are designed to allow a simple and flexible means of addressing data. For instance, if you are collecting the heights of people in different demographics, you could specify the values of your objects as ‘Height’ and then use the label to specify the (sub)population.

In this scheme, one object may have the parameters set to [group=’Height’, label=’Children’] and another may use [group=’Height’, label=’Adults’].

Note: Another level of specification is implicit in the type (i.e class) of the LabelledData object. A full specification of a LabelledData object is therefore given by the tuple (<type>, <group>, label>). This additional level of specification is used in the traverse method.

Any strings can be used for the group and label, but it can be convenient to use a capitalized string of alphanumeric characters, in which case the keys used for matching in the matches and traverse method will correspond exactly to {type}.{group}.{label}. Otherwise the strings provided will be sanitized to be valid capitalized Python identifiers, which works fine but can sometimes be confusing.

class holoviews.core.element.Dimensioned(data, kdims=None, vdims=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: LabelledData

Dimensioned is a base class that allows the data contents of a class to be associated with dimensions. The contents associated with dimensions may be partitioned into one of three types

  • key dimensions: These are the dimensions that can be indexed via

    the __getitem__ method. Dimension objects supporting key dimensions must support indexing over these dimensions and may also support slicing. This list ordering of dimensions describes the positional components of each multi-dimensional indexing operation.

    For instance, if the key dimension names are ‘weight’ followed by ‘height’ for Dimensioned object ‘obj’, then obj[80,175] indexes a weight of 80 and height of 175.

    Accessed using either kdims.

  • value dimensions: These dimensions correspond to any data held

    on the Dimensioned object not in the key dimensions. Indexing by value dimension is supported by dimension name (when there are multiple possible value dimensions); no slicing semantics is supported and all the data associated with that dimension will be returned at once. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either vdims.

  • deep dimensions: These are dynamically computed dimensions that

    belong to other Dimensioned objects that are nested in the data. Objects that support this should enable the _deep_indexable flag. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either ddims.

Dimensioned class support generalized methods for finding the range and type of values along a particular Dimension. The range method relies on the appropriate implementation of the dimension_values methods on subclasses.

The index of an arbitrary dimension is its positional index in the list of all dimensions, starting with the key dimensions, followed by the value dimensions and ending with the deep dimensions.

io Module#

Inheritance diagram of holoviews.core.io

Module defining input/output interfaces to HoloViews.

There are two components for input/output:

Exporters: Process (composite) HoloViews objects one at a time. For

instance, an exporter may render a HoloViews object as a svg or perhaps pickle it.

Archives: A collection of HoloViews objects that are first collected

then processed together. For instance, collecting HoloViews objects for a report then generating a PDF or collecting HoloViews objects to dump to HDF5.

class holoviews.core.io.Archive(*, exporters, name)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

An Archive is a means to collect and store a collection of HoloViews objects in any number of different ways. Examples of possible archives:

  • Generating tar or zip files (compressed or uncompressed).

  • Collating a report or document (e.g. PDF, HTML, LaTex).

  • Storing a collection of HoloViews objects to a database or HDF5.

exporters = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), default=[], label=’Exporters’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe0e080>)

The exporter functions used to convert HoloViews objects into the appropriate format(s).

add(obj, *args, **kwargs)[source]#

Add a HoloViews object to the archive.

export(*args, **kwargs)[source]#

Finalize and close the archive.

class holoviews.core.io.Deserializer(*, deserializer, name)[source]#

Bases: Importer

A generic importer that supports any arbitrary de-serializer.

deserializer = param.Callable(allow_refs=False, label=’Deserializer’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe9b8b0>)

The deserializer function, set to Store.load by default. The deserializer should take a file-like object that can be read from until the first object has been deserialized. If the file has not been exhausted, the deserializer should be able to continue parsing and loading objects. Any suitable deserializer may be used. For instance, pickle.load may be used although this will not load customized options.

deserializer(filename)[source]#

Equivalent to pickle.load except that the HoloViews trees is restored appropriately.

info(filename)[source]#

Returns the ‘info’ portion of the metadata (if available).

classmethod instance(**params)[source]#

Return an instance of this class, copying parameters from any existing instance provided.

key(filename)[source]#

Returns the metadata key (if available).

load(filename)[source]#

Given some source (e.g. a filename, a network connection etc), return the loaded HoloViews object.

class holoviews.core.io.Exporter(*, info_fn, key_fn, name)[source]#

Bases: ParameterizedFunction

An Exporter is a parameterized function that accepts a HoloViews object and converts it to a new some new format. This mechanism is designed to be very general so here are a few examples:

Pickling: Native Python, supported by HoloViews. Rendering: Any plotting backend may be used (default uses matplotlib) Storage: Saving to a database (e.g. SQL), HDF5 etc.

key_fn = param.Callable(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, label=’Key fn’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe0dd20>)

Function that generates the metadata key from the HoloViews object being saved. The metadata key is a single high-dimensional key of values associated with dimension labels. The returned dictionary must have string keys and simple literals that may be conveniently used for dictionary-style indexing. Returns an empty dictionary by default.

info_fn = param.Callable(allow_refs=False, label=’Info fn’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe0fd90>)

Function that generates additional metadata information from the HoloViews object being saved. Unlike metadata keys, the information returned may be unsuitable for use as a key index and may include entries such as the object’s repr. Regardless, the info metadata should still only contain items that will be quick to load and inspect.

classmethod encode(entry)[source]#

Classmethod that applies conditional encoding based on mime-type. Given an entry as returned by __call__ return the data in the appropriate encoding.

classmethod instance(**params)[source]#

Return an instance of this class, copying parameters from any existing instance provided.

save(obj, basename, fmt=None, key=None, info=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Similar to the call method except saves exporter data to disk into a file with specified basename. For exporters that support multiple formats, the fmt argument may also be supplied (which typically corresponds to the file-extension).

The supplied metadata key and info dictionaries will be used to update the output of the relevant key and info functions which is then saved (if supported).

class holoviews.core.io.FileArchive(*, archive_format, dimension_formatter, export_name, filename_formatter, flush_archive, max_filename, object_formatter, pack, root, timestamp_format, unique_name, exporters, name)[source]#

Bases: Archive

A file archive stores files on disk, either unpacked in a directory or in an archive format (e.g. a zip file).

exporters = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), default=[<class ‘holoviews.core.io.Pickler’>], label=’Exporters’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe9b790>)

The exporter functions used to convert HoloViews objects into the appropriate format(s).

dimension_formatter = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’{name}_{range}’, label=’Dimension formatter’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe9a2f0>)

A string formatter for the output file based on the supplied HoloViews objects dimension names and values. Valid fields are the {name}, {range} and {unit} of the dimensions.

object_formatter = param.Callable(allow_refs=False, label=’Object formatter’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe99600>)

Callable that given an object returns a string suitable for inclusion in file and directory names. This is what generates the value used in the {obj} field of the filename formatter.

filename_formatter = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’{dimensions},{obj}’, label=’Filename formatter’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe99780>)

A string formatter for output filename based on the HoloViews object that is being rendered to disk. The available fields are the {type}, {group}, {label}, {obj} of the holoviews object added to the archive as well as {timestamp}, {obj} and {SHA}. The {timestamp} is the export timestamp using timestamp_format, {obj} is the object representation as returned by object_formatter and {SHA} is the SHA of the {obj} value used to compress it into a shorter string.

timestamp_format = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’%Y_%m_%d-%H_%M_%S’, label=’Timestamp format’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe99270>)

The timestamp format that will be substituted for the {timestamp} field in the export name.

root = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’.’, label=’Root’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe99330>)

The root directory in which the output directory is located. May be an absolute or relative path.

archive_format = param.ObjectSelector(allow_refs=False, default=’zip’, label=’Archive format’, names={}, nested_refs=False, objects=[‘zip’, ‘tar’], rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe9be20>)

The archive format to use if there are multiple files and pack is set to True. Supported formats include ‘zip’ and ‘tar’.

pack = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=False, label=’Pack’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe992d0>)

Whether or not to pack to contents into the specified archive format. If pack is False, the contents will be output to a directory. Note that if there is only a single file in the archive, no packing will occur and no directory is created. Instead, the file is treated as a single-file archive.

export_name = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’{timestamp}’, label=’Export name’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe9be20>)

The name assigned to the overall export. If an archive file is used, this is the correspond filename (e.g. of the exporter zip file). Alternatively, if unpack=False, this is the name of the output directory. Lastly, for archives of a single file, this is the basename of the output file. The {timestamp} field is available to include the timestamp at the time of export in the chosen timestamp format.

unique_name = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=False, label=’Unique name’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe98670>)

Whether the export name should be made unique with a numeric suffix. If set to False, any existing export of the same name will be removed and replaced.

max_filename = param.Integer(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), default=100, inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Max filename’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe9aa10>)

Maximum length to enforce on generated filenames. 100 is the practical maximum for zip and tar file generation, but you may wish to use a lower value to avoid long filenames.

flush_archive = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=True, label=’Flush archive’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbe984c0>)

Flushed the contents of the archive after export.

add(obj=None, filename=None, data=None, info=None, **kwargs)[source]#

If a filename is supplied, it will be used. Otherwise, a filename will be generated from the supplied object. Note that if the explicit filename uses the {timestamp} field, it will be formatted upon export.

The data to be archived is either supplied explicitly as ‘data’ or automatically rendered from the object.

clear()[source]#

Clears the file archive

contents(maxlen=70)[source]#

Print the current (unexported) contents of the archive

export(timestamp=None, info=None)[source]#

Export the archive, directory or file.

listing()[source]#

Return a list of filename entries currently in the archive

object_formatter()[source]#

Simple name_generator designed for HoloViews objects.

Objects are labeled with {group}-{label} for each nested object, based on a depth-first search. Adjacent objects with identical representations yield only a single copy of the representation, to avoid long names for the common case of a container whose element(s) share the same group and label.

classmethod parse_fields(formatter)[source]#

Returns the format fields otherwise raise exception

class holoviews.core.io.Importer(*, name)[source]#

Bases: ParameterizedFunction

An Importer is a parameterized function that accepts some data in some format and returns a HoloViews object. This mechanism is designed to be very general so here are a few examples:

Unpickling: Native Python, supported by HoloViews. Servers: Loading data over a network connection. Storage: Loading from a database (e.g. SQL), HDF5 etc.

info(src)[source]#

Returns the ‘info’ portion of the metadata (if available).

classmethod instance(**params)[source]#

Return an instance of this class, copying parameters from any existing instance provided.

key(src)[source]#

Returns the metadata key (if available).

load(src, entries=None)[source]#

Given some source (e.g. a filename, a network connection etc), return the loaded HoloViews object.

class holoviews.core.io.Pickler(*, compress, protocol, info_fn, key_fn, name)[source]#

Bases: Exporter

The recommended pickler for serializing HoloViews object to a .hvz file (a simple zip archive of pickle files). In addition to the functionality offered by Store.dump and Store.load, this file format offers three additional features:

  1. Optional (zip) compression.

  2. Ability to save and load components of a Layout independently.

  3. Support for metadata per saved component.

The output file with the .hvz file extension is simply a zip archive containing pickled HoloViews objects.

Parameters inherited from:

holoviews.core.io.Exporter: key_fn, info_fn

protocol = param.Integer(allow_refs=False, default=2, inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Protocol’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbea5060>)

The pickling protocol where 0 is ASCII, 1 supports old Python versions and 2 is efficient for new style classes.

compress = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=True, label=’Compress’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbea5330>)

Whether compression is enabled or not

classmethod encode(entry)[source]#

Classmethod that applies conditional encoding based on mime-type. Given an entry as returned by __call__ return the data in the appropriate encoding.

classmethod instance(**params)[source]#

Return an instance of this class, copying parameters from any existing instance provided.

save(obj, filename, key=None, info=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Similar to the call method except saves exporter data to disk into a file with specified basename. For exporters that support multiple formats, the fmt argument may also be supplied (which typically corresponds to the file-extension).

The supplied metadata key and info dictionaries will be used to update the output of the relevant key and info functions which is then saved (if supported).

class holoviews.core.io.Reference(*, name)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

A Reference allows access to an object to be deferred until it is needed in the appropriate context. References are used by Collector to capture the state of an object at collection time.

One particularly important property of references is that they should be pickleable. This means that you can pickle Collectors so that you can unpickle them in different environments and still collect from the required object.

A Reference only needs to have a resolved_type property and a resolve method. The constructor will take some specification of where to find the target object (may be the object itself).

resolve(container=None)[source]#

Return the referenced object. Optionally, a container may be passed in from which the object is to be resolved.

property resolved_type#

Returns the type of the object resolved by this references. If multiple types are possible, the return is a tuple of types.

class holoviews.core.io.Serializer(*, file_ext, mime_type, serializer, info_fn, key_fn, name)[source]#

Bases: Exporter

A generic exporter that supports any arbitrary serializer

Parameters inherited from:

holoviews.core.io.Exporter: key_fn, info_fn

serializer = param.Callable(allow_refs=False, label=’Serializer’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbea5a80>)

mime_type = param.String(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, default=’application/python-pickle’, label=’Mime type’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbea6cb0>)

The mime-type associated with the serializer (if applicable).

file_ext = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’pkl’, label=’File ext’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52dbea45b0>)

The file extension associated with the corresponding file format (if applicable).

Return an instance of this class, copying parameters from any existing instance provided.

save(obj, filename, info=None, key=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Similar to the call method except saves exporter data to disk into a file with specified basename. For exporters that support multiple formats, the fmt argument may also be supplied (which typically corresponds to the file-extension).

The supplied metadata key and info dictionaries will be used to update the output of the relevant key and info functions which is then saved (if supported).

serializer(obj, protocol=0)[source]#

Equivalent to pickle.dumps except that the HoloViews option tree is saved appropriately.

class holoviews.core.io.Unpickler(*, name)[source]#

Bases: Importer

The inverse of Pickler used to load the .hvz file format which is simply a zip archive of pickle objects.

Unlike a regular pickle file, info and key metadata as well as individual components of a Layout may be loaded without needing to load the entire file into memory.

The components that may be individually loaded may be found using the entries method.

collect(files, drop=None, metadata=True)[source]#

Given a list or NdMapping type containing file paths return a Layout of Collators, which can be called to load a given set of files using the current Importer.

If supplied as a list each file is expected to disambiguate itself with contained metadata. If an NdMapping type is supplied additional key dimensions may be supplied as long as they do not clash with the file metadata. Any key dimension may be dropped by name by supplying a drop argument.

info(filename)[source]#

Returns the ‘info’ portion of the metadata (if available).

classmethod instance(**params)[source]#

Return an instance of this class, copying parameters from any existing instance provided.

key(filename)[source]#

Returns the metadata key (if available).

load(filename, entries=None)[source]#

Given some source (e.g. a filename, a network connection etc), return the loaded HoloViews object.

holoviews.core.io.sanitizer(name, replacements=None)[source]#

String sanitizer to avoid problematic characters in filenames.

holoviews.core.io.simple_name_generator(obj)[source]#

Objects are labeled with {group}-{label} for each nested object, based on a depth-first search. Adjacent objects with identical representations yield only a single copy of the representation, to avoid long names for the common case of a container whose element(s) share the same group and label.


layout Module#

Inheritance diagram of holoviews.core.layout

Supplies Pane, Layout, NdLayout and AdjointLayout. Pane extends View to allow multiple Views to be presented side-by-side in a NdLayout. An AdjointLayout allows one or two Views to be adjoined to a primary View to act as supplementary elements.

class holoviews.core.layout.AdjointLayout(data, **params)[source]#

Bases: Layoutable, Dimensioned

An AdjointLayout provides a convenient container to lay out some marginal plots next to a primary plot. This is often useful to display the marginal distributions of a plot next to the primary plot. AdjointLayout accepts a list of up to three elements, which are laid out as follows with the names ‘main’, ‘top’ and ‘right’:

class holoviews.core.layout.Dimensioned(data, kdims=None, vdims=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: LabelledData

Dimensioned is a base class that allows the data contents of a class to be associated with dimensions. The contents associated with dimensions may be partitioned into one of three types

  • key dimensions: These are the dimensions that can be indexed via

    the __getitem__ method. Dimension objects supporting key dimensions must support indexing over these dimensions and may also support slicing. This list ordering of dimensions describes the positional components of each multi-dimensional indexing operation.

    For instance, if the key dimension names are ‘weight’ followed by ‘height’ for Dimensioned object ‘obj’, then obj[80,175] indexes a weight of 80 and height of 175.

    Accessed using either kdims.

  • value dimensions: These dimensions correspond to any data held

    on the Dimensioned object not in the key dimensions. Indexing by value dimension is supported by dimension name (when there are multiple possible value dimensions); no slicing semantics is supported and all the data associated with that dimension will be returned at once. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either vdims.

  • deep dimensions: These are dynamically computed dimensions that

    belong to other Dimensioned objects that are nested in the data. Objects that support this should enable the _deep_indexable flag. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either ddims.

Dimensioned class support generalized methods for finding the range and type of values along a particular Dimension. The range method relies on the appropriate implementation of the dimension_values methods on subclasses.

The index of an arbitrary dimension is its positional index in the list of all dimensions, starting with the key dimensions, followed by the value dimensions and ending with the deep dimensions.

ndmapping Module#

Inheritance diagram of holoviews.core.ndmapping

Supplies MultiDimensionalMapping and NdMapping which are multi-dimensional map types. The former class only allows indexing whereas the latter also enables slicing over multiple dimension ranges.

class holoviews.core.ndmapping.MultiDimensionalMapping(initial_items=None, kdims=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: Dimensioned

An MultiDimensionalMapping is a Dimensioned mapping (like a dictionary or array) that uses fixed-length multidimensional keys. This behaves like a sparse N-dimensional array that does not require a dense sampling over the multidimensional space.

If the underlying value for each (key, value) pair also supports indexing (such as a dictionary, array, or list), fully qualified (deep) indexing may be used from the top level, with the first N dimensions of the index selecting a particular Dimensioned object and the remaining dimensions indexing into that object.

For instance, for a MultiDimensionalMapping with dimensions “Year” and “Month” and underlying values that are 2D floating-point arrays indexed by (r,c), a 2D array may be indexed with x[2000,3] and a single floating-point number may be indexed as x[2000,3,1,9].

In practice, this class is typically only used as an abstract base class, because the NdMapping subclass extends it with a range of useful slicing methods for selecting subsets of the data. Even so, keeping the slicing support separate from the indexing and data storage methods helps make both classes easier to understand.

Parameters inherited from:

group = param.String(allow_refs=False, constant=True, default=’MultiDimensionalMapping’, label=’Group’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db54fa90>)

A string describing the data wrapped by the object.

kdims = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), constant=True, default=[Dimension(‘Default’)], label=’Kdims’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db54f640>)

The key dimensions defined as list of dimensions that may be used in indexing (and potential slicing) semantics. The order of the dimensions listed here determines the semantics of each component of a multi-dimensional indexing operation. Aliased with key_dimensions.

vdims = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, 0), constant=True, default=[], label=’Vdims’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db54fa60>)

The value dimensions defined as the list of dimensions used to describe the components of the data. If multiple value dimensions are supplied, a particular value dimension may be indexed by name after the key dimensions. Aliased with value_dimensions.

sort = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=True, label=’Sort’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db54f340>)

Whether the items should be sorted in the constructor.

Inheritance diagram of holoviews.core.operation

Operations manipulate Elements, HoloMaps and Layouts, typically for the purposes of analysis or visualization.

class holoviews.core.operation.Operation(*, dynamic, group, input_ranges, link_inputs, streams, name)[source]#

Bases: ParameterizedFunction

An Operation process an Element or HoloMap at the level of individual elements or overlays. If a holomap is passed in as input, a processed holomap is returned as output where the individual elements have been transformed accordingly. An Operation may turn overlays in new elements or vice versa.

An Operation can be set to be dynamic, which will return a DynamicMap with a callback that will apply the operation dynamically. An Operation may also supply a list of Stream classes on a streams parameter, which can allow dynamic control over the parameters on the operation.

group = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’Operation’, label=’Group’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db129270>)

The group string used to identify the output of the Operation. By default this should match the operation name.

dynamic = param.ObjectSelector(allow_refs=False, default=’default’, label=’Dynamic’, names={}, nested_refs=False, objects=[‘default’, True, False], rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db2cbd30>)

Whether the operation should be applied dynamically when a specific frame is requested, specified as a Boolean. If set to ‘default’ the mode will be determined based on the input type, i.e. if the data is a DynamicMap it will stay dynamic.

input_ranges = param.ClassSelector(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, class_=(<class ‘dict’>, <class ‘tuple’>), default={}, label=’Input ranges’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db2cb550>)

If key-wise normalization is required, a 2-tuple may be supplied where the first component is a Normalization.ranges list and the second component is Normalization.keys.

link_inputs = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=False, label=’Link inputs’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db1292d0>)

If the operation is dynamic, whether or not linked streams should be transferred from the operation inputs for backends that support linked streams. For example if an operation is applied to a DynamicMap with an RangeXY, this switch determines whether the corresponding visualization should update this stream with range changes originating from the newly generated axes.

streams = param.ClassSelector(allow_refs=False, class_=(<class ‘dict’>, <class ‘list’>), default=[], label=’Streams’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db2cb520>)

options Module#

Inheritance diagram of holoviews.core.options

Options and OptionTrees allow different classes of options (e.g. matplotlib-specific styles and plot specific parameters) to be defined separately from the core data structures and away from visualization specific code.

There are three classes that form the options system:

Cycle:

Used to define infinite cycles over a finite set of elements, using either an explicit list or some pre-defined collection (e.g. from matplotlib rcParams). For instance, a Cycle object can be used loop a set of display colors for multiple curves on a single axis.

Options:

Containers of arbitrary keyword values, including optional keyword validation, support for Cycle objects and inheritance.

OptionTree:

A subclass of AttrTree that is used to define the inheritance relationships between a collection of Options objects. Each node of the tree supports a group of Options objects and the leaf nodes inherit their keyword values from parent nodes up to the root.

Store:

A singleton class that stores all global and custom options and links HoloViews objects, the chosen plotting backend and the IPython extension together.

exception holoviews.core.options.AbbreviatedException(etype, value, traceback)[source]#

Bases: Exception

Raised by the abbreviate_exception context manager when it is appropriate to present an abbreviated the traceback and exception message in the notebook.

Particularly useful when processing style options supplied by the user which may not be valid.

print_traceback()[source]#

class holoviews.core.options.Compositor(pattern, operation, group, mode, transfer_options=False, transfer_parameters=False, output_type=None, backends=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

A Compositor is a way of specifying an operation to be automatically applied to Overlays that match a specified pattern upon display.

Any Operation that takes an Overlay as input may be used to define a compositor.

For instance, a compositor may be defined to automatically display three overlaid monochrome matrices as an RGB image as long as the values names of those matrices match ‘R’, ‘G’ and ‘B’.

mode = param.ObjectSelector(allow_refs=False, default=’data’, label=’Mode’, names={}, nested_refs=False, objects=[‘data’, ‘display’], rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db1574f0>)

The mode of the Compositor object which may be either ‘data’ or ‘display’.

backends = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), default=[], label=’Backends’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db1fb280>)

Defines which backends to apply the Compositor for.

operation = param.Parameter(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, label=’Operation’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db1574f0>)

pattern = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’’, label=’Pattern’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db1fb280>)

The overlay pattern to be processed. An overlay pattern is a sequence of elements specified by dotted paths separated by * . For instance the following pattern specifies three overlaid matrices with values of ‘RedChannel’, ‘GreenChannel’ and ‘BlueChannel’ respectively: ‘Image.RedChannel * Image.GreenChannel * Image.BlueChannel. This pattern specification could then be associated with the RGB operation that returns a single RGB matrix for display.

group = param.String(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, default=’’, label=’Group’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db1574c0>)

The level integer is the number of matching components. Higher values indicate a stronger match.

property output_type#

Returns the operation output_type unless explicitly overridden in the kwargs.

classmethod strongest_match(overlay, mode, backend=None)[source]#

Returns the single strongest matching compositor operation given an overlay. If no matches are found, None is returned.

The best match is defined as the compositor operation with the highest match value as returned by the match_level method.

class holoviews.core.options.Cycle(cycle=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

A simple container class that specifies cyclic options. A typical example would be to cycle the curve colors in an Overlay composed of an arbitrary number of curves. The values may be supplied as an explicit list or a key to look up in the default cycles attribute.

class holoviews.core.options.Keywords(values=None, target=None)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

A keywords objects represents a set of Python keywords. It is list-like and ordered but it is also a set without duplicates. When passed as **kwargs, Python keywords are not ordered but this class always lists keywords in sorted order.

In addition to containing the list of keywords, Keywords has an optional target which describes what the keywords are applicable to.

This class is for internal use only and should not be in the user namespace.

values = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), default=[], label=’Values’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52db1fa230>)

Set of keywords as a sorted list.

Exception.with_traceback(tb) – set self.__traceback__ to tb and return self.

class holoviews.core.options.OptionTree(items=None, identifier=None, parent=None, groups=None, options=None, backend=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: AttrTree

A subclass of AttrTree that is used to define the inheritance relationships between a collection of Options objects. Each node of the tree supports a group of Options objects and the leaf nodes inherit their keyword values from parent nodes up to the root.

Supports the ability to search the tree for the closest valid path using the find method, or compute the appropriate Options value given an object and a mode. For a given node of the tree, the options method computes a Options object containing the result of inheritance for a given group up to the root of the tree.

When constructing an OptionTree, you can specify the option groups as a list (i.e. empty initial option groups at the root) or as a dictionary (e.g. groups={‘style’:Option()}). You can also initialize the OptionTree with the options argument together with the **kwargs - see StoreOptions.merge_options for more information on the options specification syntax.

You can use the string specifier ‘.’ to refer to the root node in the options specification. This acts as an alternative was of specifying the options groups of the current node. Note that this approach method may only be used with the group lists format.

closest(obj, group, defaults=True, backend=None)[source]#

This method is designed to be called from the root of the tree. Given any LabelledData object, this method will return the most appropriate Options object, including inheritance.

In addition, closest supports custom options by checking the object

filter(path_filters)[source]#

Filters the loaded AttrTree using the supplied path_filters.

find(path, mode='node')[source]#

class holoviews.core.options.Options(key=None, allowed_keywords=None, merge_keywords=True, max_cycles=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: object

An Options object holds a collection of keyword options. In addition, Options support (optional) keyword validation as well as infinite indexing over the set of supplied cyclic values.

Options support inheritance of setting values via the __call__ method. By calling an Options object with additional keywords, you can create a new Options object inheriting the parent options.

property cyclic#

Returns True if the options cycle, otherwise False

filtered(allowed)[source]#

Return a new Options object that is filtered by the specified list of keys. Mutating self.kwargs to filter is unsafe due to the option expansion that occurs on initialization.

keywords_target(target)[source]#

Helper method to easily set the target on the allowed_keywords Keywords.

max_cycles(num)[source]#

Truncates all contained Palette objects to a maximum number of samples and returns a new Options object containing the truncated or resampled Palettes.

property options#

class holoviews.core.options.Palette(key, **params)[source]#

Bases: Cycle

Palettes allow easy specifying a discrete sampling of an existing colormap. Palettes may be supplied a key to look up a function function in the colormap class attribute. The function should accept a float scalar in the specified range and return a RGB(A) tuple. The number of samples may also be specified as a parameter.

The range and samples may conveniently be overridden with the __getitem__ method.

Parameters inherited from:

sample_fn(stop, num=50, endpoint=True, retstep=False, dtype=None, axis=0)[source]#

Return evenly spaced numbers over a specified interval.

Returns num evenly spaced samples, calculated over the interval [start, stop].

The endpoint of the interval can optionally be excluded.

Changed in version 1.16.0: Non-scalar start and stop are now supported.

Changed in version 1.20.0: Values are rounded towards -inf instead of 0 when an integer dtype is specified. The old behavior can still be obtained with np.linspace(start, stop, num).astype(int)

Parameters#

startarray_like

The starting value of the sequence.

stoparray_like

The end value of the sequence, unless endpoint is set to False. In that case, the sequence consists of all but the last of num + 1 evenly spaced samples, so that stop is excluded. Note that the step size changes when endpoint is False.

numint, optional

Number of samples to generate. Default is 50. Must be non-negative.

endpointbool, optional

If True, stop is the last sample. Otherwise, it is not included. Default is True.

retstepbool, optional

If True, return (samples, step), where step is the spacing between samples.

dtypedtype, optional

New in version 1.9.0.

axisint, optional

The axis in the result to store the samples. Relevant only if start or stop are array-like. By default (0), the samples will be along a new axis inserted at the beginning. Use -1 to get an axis at the end.

New in version 1.16.0.

Returns#

samplesndarray

There are num equally spaced samples in the closed interval [start, stop] or the half-open interval [start, stop) (depending on whether endpoint is True or False).

stepfloat, optional

Only returned if retstep is True

Size of spacing between samples.

number of samples).

geomspaceSimilar to linspace, but with numbers spaced evenly on a log

scale (a geometric progression).

logspaceSimilar to geomspace, but with the end points specified as

logarithms.

Use this method to set the backend to run the switch hooks

classmethod set_display_hook(group, objtype, hook)[source]#

Specify a display hook that will be applied to objects of type objtype. The group specifies the set to which the display hook belongs, allowing the Store to compute the precedence within each group.

classmethod transfer_options(obj, new_obj, backend=None, names=None, level=3)[source]#

Transfers options for all backends from one object to another. Drops any options defined in the supplied drop list.

class holoviews.core.options.StoreOptions[source]#

Bases: object

A collection of utilities for advanced users for creating and setting customized option trees on the Store. Designed for use by either advanced users or the %opts line and cell magics which use this machinery.

This class also holds general classmethods for working with OptionTree instances: as OptionTrees are designed for attribute access it is best to minimize the number of methods implemented on that class and implement the necessary utilities on StoreOptions instead.

Lastly this class offers a means to record all OptionErrors generated by an option specification. This is used for validation purposes.

classmethod apply_customizations(spec, options)[source]#

Apply the given option specs to the supplied options tree.

The id_mapping return value is a list mapping the ids that need to be matched as set to their new values.

classmethod expand_compositor_keys(spec)[source]#

Expands compositor definition keys into {type}.{group} keys. For instance a compositor operation returning a group string ‘Image’ of element type RGB expands to ‘RGB.Image’.

>>> style={'Curve':{'linewidth':10 }}
>>> merged = StoreOptions.merge_options(['style'], options, style=style)
>>> sorted(merged['Curve']['style'].items())
[('color', 'b'), ('linewidth', 10)]
classmethod options(obj, options=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Context-manager for temporarily setting options on an object (if options is None, no options will be set) . Once the context manager exits, both the object and the Store will be left in exactly the same state they were in before the context manager was used.

See holoviews.core.options.set_options function for more information on the options specification format.

classmethod propagate_ids(obj, match_id, new_id, applied_keys, backend=None)[source]#

Recursively propagate an id through an object for components matching the applied_keys. This method can only be called if there is a tree with a matching id in Store.custom_options

classmethod record_skipped_option(error)[source]#

classmethod restore_ids(obj, ids)[source]#

Given an list of ids as captured with capture_ids, restore the ids. Note the structure of an object must not change between the calls to capture_ids and restore_ids.

classmethod set_options(obj, options=None, backend=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Pure Python function for customize HoloViews objects in terms of their style, plot and normalization options.

The options specification is a dictionary containing the target for customization as a {type}.{group}.{label} keys. An example of such a key is ‘Image’ which would customize all Image components in the object. The key ‘Image.Channel’ would only customize Images in the object that have the group ‘Channel’.

The corresponding value is then a list of Option objects specified with an appropriate category (‘plot’, ‘style’ or ‘norm’). For instance, using the keys described above, the specs could be:

{‘Image:[Options(‘style’, cmap=’jet’)]}

Or setting two types of option at once:

{‘Image.Channel’:[Options(‘plot’, size=50),

Options(‘style’, cmap=’Blues’)]}

Relationship to the %%opts magic#

This function matches the functionality supplied by the %%opts cell magic in the IPython extension. In fact, you can use the same syntax as the IPython cell magic to achieve the same customization as shown above:

from holoviews.util.parser import OptsSpec set_options(my_image, OptsSpec.parse(“Image (cmap=’jet’)”))

Then setting both plot and style options:

set_options(my_image, OptsSpec.parse(“Image [size=50] (cmap=’Blues’)”))

classmethod start_recording_skipped()[source]#

Start collecting OptionErrors for all skipped options recorded with the record_skipped_option method

classmethod state(obj, state=None)[source]#

classmethod stop_recording_skipped()[source]#

Stop collecting OptionErrors recorded with the record_skipped_option method and return them

classmethod tree_to_dict(tree)[source]#

Given an OptionTree, convert it into the equivalent dictionary format.

classmethod update_backends(id_mapping, custom_trees, backend=None)[source]#

Given the id_mapping from previous ids to new ids and the new custom tree dictionary, update the current backend with the supplied trees and update the keys in the remaining backends to stay linked with the current object.

classmethod validate_spec(spec, backends=None)[source]#

Given a specification, validated it against the options tree for the specified backends by raising OptionError for invalid options. If backends is None, validates against all the currently loaded backend.

Only useful when invalid keywords generate exceptions instead of skipping, i.e. Options.skip_invalid is False.

classmethod validation_error_message(spec, backends=None)[source]#

Returns an options validation error message if there are any invalid keywords. Otherwise returns None.

class holoviews.core.options.abbreviated_exception[source]#

Bases: object

Context manager used to to abbreviate tracebacks using an AbbreviatedException when a backend may raise an error due to incorrect style options.

holoviews.core.options.cleanup_custom_options(id, weakref=None)[source]#

Cleans up unused custom trees if all objects referencing the custom id have been garbage collected or tree is otherwise unreferenced.

holoviews.core.options.lookup_options(obj, group, backend)[source]#

An AdjointLayout provides a convenient container to lay out some marginal plots next to a primary plot. This is often useful to display the marginal distributions of a plot next to the primary plot. AdjointLayout accepts a list of up to three elements, which are laid out as follows with the names ‘main’, ‘top’ and ‘right’:

3 | |

|___________|___| | | | 1: main | | | 2: right | 1 | 2 | 3: top | | | |___________|___|

class holoviews.core.overlay.Dimensioned(data, kdims=None, vdims=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: LabelledData

Dimensioned is a base class that allows the data contents of a class to be associated with dimensions. The contents associated with dimensions may be partitioned into one of three types

  • key dimensions: These are the dimensions that can be indexed via

    the __getitem__ method. Dimension objects supporting key dimensions must support indexing over these dimensions and may also support slicing. This list ordering of dimensions describes the positional components of each multi-dimensional indexing operation.

    For instance, if the key dimension names are ‘weight’ followed by ‘height’ for Dimensioned object ‘obj’, then obj[80,175] indexes a weight of 80 and height of 175.

    Accessed using either kdims.

  • value dimensions: These dimensions correspond to any data held

    on the Dimensioned object not in the key dimensions. Indexing by value dimension is supported by dimension name (when there are multiple possible value dimensions); no slicing semantics is supported and all the data associated with that dimension will be returned at once. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either vdims.

  • deep dimensions: These are dynamically computed dimensions that

    belong to other Dimensioned objects that are nested in the data. Objects that support this should enable the _deep_indexable flag. Note that it is not possible to mix value dimensions and deep dimensions.

    Accessed using either ddims.

Dimensioned class support generalized methods for finding the range and type of values along a particular Dimension. The range method relies on the appropriate implementation of the dimension_values methods on subclasses.

The index of an arbitrary dimension is its positional index in the list of all dimensions, starting with the key dimensions, followed by the value dimensions and ending with the deep dimensions.

pprint Module#

Inheritance diagram of holoviews.core.pprint

HoloViews can be used to build highly-nested data-structures containing large amounts of raw data. As a result, it is difficult to generate a readable representation that is both informative yet concise.

As a result, HoloViews does not attempt to build representations that can be evaluated with eval; such representations would typically be far too large to be practical. Instead, all HoloViews objects can be represented as tree structures, showing how to access and index into your data.

sheetcoords Module#

Inheritance diagram of holoviews.core.sheetcoords

File originally part of the Topographica project. Provides SheetCoordinateSystem, allowing conversion between continuous ‘sheet coordinates’ and integer matrix coordinates.

‘Sheet coordinates’ allow simulation parameters to be specified in units that are density-independent, whereas ‘matrix coordinates’ provide a means of realizing the continuous sheets.

Hence we can have a pair of ‘sheet coordinates’ (x,y); floating-point Cartesian coordinates indicating an arbitrary point on the sheet’s plane. We can also have a pair of ‘matrix coordinates’ (r,c), which are used to address an underlying matrix. These matrix coordinates are also floating-point numbers to allow precise conversion between the two schemes. Where it is necessary to address a specific element of the matrix (as is often the case in calculations), we also have the usual matrix index coordinates (r_idx, c_idx). We refer to these as matrixidx coordinates. SheetCoordinateSystem proxies methods for converting between sheet and matrix coordinates, as well as sheet and matrixidx coordinates.

Everyone should use these facilities for conversions between the two coordinate systems to guarantee consistency.

Example of how the matrix stores the representation of the Sheet#

For the purposes of this example, assume the goal is a Sheet with density=3 that has a 1 at (-1/2,-1/2), a 5 at (0.0,0.0), and a 9 at (1/2,1/2). More precisely, for this Sheet,

the continuous area from -1/2,-1/2 to -1/6,-1/6 has value 1, the continuous area from -1/6,-1/6 to 1/6,1/6 has value 5, and the continuous area from 1/6,1/6 to 1/2,1/2 has value 9.

With the rest of the elements filled in, the Sheet would look like:

 (-1/2,1/2) -+-----+-----+-----+- (1/2,1/2)
             |     |     |     |
             |  7  |  8  |  9  |
             |     |     |     |
 (-1/2,1/6) -+-----+-----+-----+- (1/2,1/6)
             |     |     |     |
             |  4  |  5  |  6  |
             |     |     |     |
(-1/2,-1/6) -+-----+-----+-----+- (1/2,-1/6)
             |     |     |     |
             |  1  |  2  |  3  |
             |     |     |     |
(-1/2,-1/2) -+-----+-----+-----+- (1/2,-1/2)

where element 5 is centered on 0.0,0.0. A matrix that would match these Sheet coordinates is:

[[7 8 9]
 [4 5 6]
 [1 2 3]]

If we have such a matrix, we can access it in one of two ways: Sheet or matrix/matrixidx coordinates. In matrixidx coordinates, the matrix is indexed by rows and columns, and it is possible to ask for the element at location [0,2] (which returns 9 as in any normal row-major matrix). But the values can additionally be accessed in Sheet coordinates, where the matrix is indexed by a point in the Cartesian plane. In Sheet coordinates, it is possible to ask for the element at location (0.3,0.02), which returns floating-point matrix coordinates that can be cropped to give the nearest matrix element, namely the one with value 6.

Of course, it would be an error to try to pass matrix coordinates like [0,2] to the sheet2matrix calls; the result would be a value far outside of the actual matrix.

class holoviews.core.sheetcoords.SheetCoordinateSystem(bounds, xdensity, ydensity=None)[source]#

Bases: object

Provides methods to allow conversion between sheet and matrix coordinates.

closest_cell_center(x, y)[source]#

Given arbitrary sheet coordinates, return the sheet coordinates of the center of the closest unit.

matrix2sheet(float_row, float_col)[source]#

Convert a floating-point location (float_row,float_col) in matrix coordinates to its corresponding location (x,y) in sheet coordinates.

Valid for scalar or array float_row and float_col.

Inverse of sheet2matrix().

matrixidx2sheet(row, col)[source]#

Return (x,y) where x and y are the floating point coordinates of the center of the given matrix cell (row,col). If the matrix cell represents a 0.2 by 0.2 region, then the center location returned would be 0.1,0.1.

NOTE: This is NOT the strict mathematical inverse of sheet2matrixidx(), because sheet2matrixidx() discards all but the integer portion of the continuous matrix coordinate.

Valid only for scalar or array row and col.

sheet2matrix(x, y)[source]#

Convert a point (x,y) in Sheet coordinates to continuous matrix coordinates.

Returns (float_row,float_col), where float_row corresponds to y, and float_col to x.

Valid for scalar or array x and y.

Note about Bounds For a Sheet with BoundingBox(points=((-0.5,-0.5),(0.5,0.5))) and density=3, x=-0.5 corresponds to float_col=0.0 and x=0.5 corresponds to float_col=3.0. float_col=3.0 is not inside the matrix representing this Sheet, which has the three columns (0,1,2). That is, x=-0.5 is inside the BoundingBox but x=0.5 is outside. Similarly, y=0.5 is inside (at row 0) but y=-0.5 is outside (at row 3) (it’s the other way round for y because the matrix row index increases as y decreases).

sheet2matrixidx(x, y)[source]#

Convert a point (x,y) in sheet coordinates to the integer row and column index of the matrix cell in which that point falls, given a bounds and density. Returns (row,column).

Note that if coordinates along the right or bottom boundary are passed into this function, the returned matrix coordinate of the boundary will be just outside the matrix, because the right and bottom boundaries are exclusive.

Valid for scalar or array x and y.

sheetcoordinates_of_matrixidx()[source]#

Return x,y where x is a vector of sheet coordinates representing the x-center of each matrix cell, and y represents the corresponding y-center of the cell.

property xdensity#

The spacing between elements in an underlying matrix representation, in the x direction.

property ydensity#

The spacing between elements in an underlying matrix representation, in the y direction.

class holoviews.core.sheetcoords.Slice(bounds, sheet_coordinate_system, force_odd=False, min_matrix_radius=1)[source]#

Bases: ndarray

Represents a slice of a SheetCoordinateSystem; i.e., an array specifying the row and column start and end points for a submatrix of the SheetCoordinateSystem.

The slice is created from the supplied bounds by calculating the slice that corresponds most closely to the specified bounds. Therefore, the slice does not necessarily correspond exactly to the specified bounds. The bounds that do exactly correspond to the slice are available via the ‘bounds’ attribute.

Note that the slice does not respect the bounds of the SheetCoordinateSystem, and that actions such as translate() also do not respect the bounds. To ensure that the slice is within the SheetCoordinateSystem’s bounds, use crop_to_sheet().

T#

View of the transposed array.

Same as self.transpose().

Examples#

>>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> a
array([[1, 2],
       [3, 4]])
>>> a.T
array([[1, 3],
       [2, 4]])
>>> a = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> a
array([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> a.T
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

New in version 1.8.0.

See Also#

argsort(axis=-1, kind=None, order=None)#

Returns the indices that would sort this array.

Refer to numpy.argsort for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.argsort : equivalent function

astype(dtype, order='K', casting='unsafe', subok=True, copy=True)#

Copy of the array, cast to a specified type.

Parameters#

dtypestr or dtype

Typecode or data-type to which the array is cast.

order{‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, ‘K’}, optional

Controls the memory layout order of the result. ‘C’ means C order, ‘F’ means Fortran order, ‘A’ means ‘F’ order if all the arrays are Fortran contiguous, ‘C’ order otherwise, and ‘K’ means as close to the order the array elements appear in memory as possible. Default is ‘K’.

casting{‘no’, ‘equiv’, ‘safe’, ‘same_kind’, ‘unsafe’}, optional

Controls what kind of data casting may occur. Defaults to ‘unsafe’ for backwards compatibility.

  • ‘no’ means the data types should not be cast at all.

  • ‘equiv’ means only byte-order changes are allowed.

  • ‘safe’ means only casts which can preserve values are allowed.

  • ‘same_kind’ means only safe casts or casts within a kind, like float64 to float32, are allowed.

  • ‘unsafe’ means any data conversions may be done.

subokbool, optional

If True, then sub-classes will be passed-through (default), otherwise the returned array will be forced to be a base-class array.

copybool, optional

By default, astype always returns a newly allocated array. If this is set to false, and the dtype, order, and subok requirements are satisfied, the input array is returned instead of a copy.

Returns#

arr_tndarray

Unless copy is False and the other conditions for returning the input array are satisfied (see description for copy input parameter), arr_t is a new array of the same shape as the input array, with dtype, order given by dtype, order.

Notes#

Changed in version 1.17.0: Casting between a simple data type and a structured one is possible only for “unsafe” casting. Casting to multiple fields is allowed, but casting from multiple fields is not.

Changed in version 1.9.0: Casting from numeric to string types in ‘safe’ casting mode requires that the string dtype length is long enough to store the max integer/float value converted.

Raises#

ComplexWarning

When casting from complex to float or int. To avoid this, one should use a.real.astype(t).

Examples#

>>> x = np.array([1, 2, 2.5])
>>> x
array([1. ,  2. ,  2.5])
>>> x.astype(int)
array([1, 2, 2])
base#

Base object if memory is from some other object.

Examples#

The base of an array that owns its memory is None:

>>> x = np.array([1,2,3,4])
>>> x.base is None
True

Slicing creates a view, whose memory is shared with x:

>>> y = x[2:]
>>> y.base is x
True
byteswap(inplace=False)#

Swap the bytes of the array elements

Toggle between low-endian and big-endian data representation by returning a byteswapped array, optionally swapped in-place. Arrays of byte-strings are not swapped. The real and imaginary parts of a complex number are swapped individually.

Parameters#

inplacebool, optional

If True, swap bytes in-place, default is False.

Returns#

outndarray

The byteswapped array. If inplace is True, this is a view to self.

Examples#

>>> A = np.array([1, 256, 8755], dtype=np.int16)
>>> list(map(hex, A))
['0x1', '0x100', '0x2233']
>>> A.byteswap(inplace=True)
array([  256,     1, 13090], dtype=int16)
>>> list(map(hex, A))
['0x100', '0x1', '0x3322']

Arrays of byte-strings are not swapped

>>> A = np.array([b'ceg', b'fac'])
>>> A.byteswap()
array([b'ceg', b'fac'], dtype='|S3')
A.newbyteorder().byteswap() produces an array with the same values

but different representation in memory

>>> A = np.array([1, 2, 3])
>>> A.view(np.uint8)
array([1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
       0, 0], dtype=uint8)
>>> A.newbyteorder().byteswap(inplace=True)
array([1, 2, 3])
>>> A.view(np.uint8)
array([0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
       0, 3], dtype=uint8)
choose(choices, out=None, mode='raise')#

compress(condition, axis=None, out=None)#

Return selected slices of this array along given axis.

Refer to numpy.compress for full documentation.

See Also#

conj()#

Complex-conjugate all elements.

Refer to numpy.conjugate for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.conjugate : equivalent function

conjugate()#

Return the complex conjugate, element-wise.

Refer to numpy.conjugate for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.conjugate : equivalent function

copy(order='C')#

Return a copy of the array.

Parameters#

order{‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, ‘K’}, optional

Controls the memory layout of the copy. ‘C’ means C-order, ‘F’ means F-order, ‘A’ means ‘F’ if a is Fortran contiguous, ‘C’ otherwise. ‘K’ means match the layout of a as closely as possible. (Note that this function and numpy.copy() are very similar but have different default values for their order= arguments, and this function always passes sub-classes through.)

See also#

numpy.copy : Similar function with different default behavior numpy.copyto

Notes#

This function is the preferred method for creating an array copy. The function numpy.copy() is similar, but it defaults to using order ‘K’, and will not pass sub-classes through by default.

Examples#

>>> x = np.array([[1,2,3],[4,5,6]], order='F')
>>> y = x.copy()
>>> x.fill(0)
>>> x
array([[0, 0, 0],
       [0, 0, 0]])
>>> y
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])
>>> y.flags['C_CONTIGUOUS']
True
crop_to_sheet(sheet_coord_system)[source]#

Crop the slice to the SheetCoordinateSystem’s bounds.

ctypes#

An object to simplify the interaction of the array with the ctypes module.

This attribute creates an object that makes it easier to use arrays when calling shared libraries with the ctypes module. The returned object has, among others, data, shape, and strides attributes (see Notes below) which themselves return ctypes objects that can be used as arguments to a shared library.

Parameters#

None

Returns#

cPython object

Possessing attributes data, shape, strides, etc.

See Also#

numpy.ctypeslib

Notes#

Below are the public attributes of this object which were documented in “Guide to NumPy” (we have omitted undocumented public attributes, as well as documented private attributes):

_ctypes.data

A pointer to the memory area of the array as a Python integer. This memory area may contain data that is not aligned, or not in correct byte-order. The memory area may not even be writeable. The array flags and data-type of this array should be respected when passing this attribute to arbitrary C-code to avoid trouble that can include Python crashing. User Beware! The value of this attribute is exactly the same as self._array_interface_['data'][0].

Note that unlike data_as, a reference will not be kept to the array: code like ctypes.c_void_p((a + b).ctypes.data) will result in a pointer to a deallocated array, and should be spelt (a + b).ctypes.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p)

_ctypes.shape

(c_intp*self.ndim): A ctypes array of length self.ndim where the basetype is the C-integer corresponding to dtype('p') on this platform (see ~numpy.ctypeslib.c_intp). This base-type could be ctypes.c_int, ctypes.c_long, or ctypes.c_longlong depending on the platform. The ctypes array contains the shape of the underlying array.

_ctypes.strides

(c_intp*self.ndim): A ctypes array of length self.ndim where the basetype is the same as for the shape attribute. This ctypes array contains the strides information from the underlying array. This strides information is important for showing how many bytes must be jumped to get to the next element in the array.

_ctypes.data_as(obj)

Return the data pointer cast to a particular c-types object. For example, calling self._as_parameter_ is equivalent to self.data_as(ctypes.c_void_p). Perhaps you want to use the data as a pointer to a ctypes array of floating-point data: self.data_as(ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_double)).

The returned pointer will keep a reference to the array.

_ctypes.shape_as(obj)

Return the shape tuple as an array of some other c-types type. For example: self.shape_as(ctypes.c_short).

_ctypes.strides_as(obj)

Return the strides tuple as an array of some other c-types type. For example: self.strides_as(ctypes.c_longlong).

If the ctypes module is not available, then the ctypes attribute of array objects still returns something useful, but ctypes objects are not returned and errors may be raised instead. In particular, the object will still have the as_parameter attribute which will return an integer equal to the data attribute.

Examples#

>>> import ctypes
>>> x = np.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]], dtype=np.int32)
>>> x
array([[0, 1],
       [2, 3]], dtype=int32)
>>> x.ctypes.data
31962608 # may vary
>>> x.ctypes.data_as(ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_uint32))
<__main__.LP_c_uint object at 0x7ff2fc1fc200> # may vary
>>> x.ctypes.data_as(ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_uint32)).contents
c_uint(0)
>>> x.ctypes.data_as(ctypes.POINTER(ctypes.c_uint64)).contents
c_ulong(4294967296)
>>> x.ctypes.shape
<numpy.core._internal.c_long_Array_2 object at 0x7ff2fc1fce60> # may vary
>>> x.ctypes.strides
<numpy.core._internal.c_long_Array_2 object at 0x7ff2fc1ff320> # may vary
cumprod(axis=None, dtype=None, out=None)#

Return the cumulative product of the elements along the given axis.

Refer to numpy.cumprod for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.cumprod : equivalent function

cumsum(axis=None, dtype=None, out=None)#

Return the cumulative sum of the elements along the given axis.

Refer to numpy.cumsum for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.cumsum : equivalent function

data#

Python buffer object pointing to the start of the array’s data.

diagonal(offset=0, axis1=0, axis2=1)#

Return specified diagonals. In NumPy 1.9 the returned array is a read-only view instead of a copy as in previous NumPy versions. In a future version the read-only restriction will be removed.

Refer to numpy.diagonal() for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.diagonal : equivalent function

dtype#

Data-type of the array’s elements.

Warning

Setting arr.dtype is discouraged and may be deprecated in the future. Setting will replace the dtype without modifying the memory (see also ndarray.view and ndarray.astype).

Parameters#

None

Returns#

d : numpy dtype object

See Also#

ndarray.astype : Cast the values contained in the array to a new data-type. ndarray.view : Create a view of the same data but a different data-type. numpy.dtype

Examples#

>>> x
array([[0, 1],
       [2, 3]])
>>> x.dtype
dtype('int32')
>>> type(x.dtype)
<type 'numpy.dtype'>
dump(file)#

Dump a pickle of the array to the specified file. The array can be read back with pickle.load or numpy.load.

Parameters#

filestr or Path

A string naming the dump file.

Changed in version 1.17.0: pathlib.Path objects are now accepted.

dumps()#

Returns the pickle of the array as a string. pickle.loads will convert the string back to an array.

Parameters#

None

fill(value)#

Fill the array with a scalar value.

Parameters#

valuescalar

All elements of a will be assigned this value.

Examples#

>>> a = np.array([1, 2])
>>> a.fill(0)
>>> a
array([0, 0])
>>> a = np.empty(2)
>>> a.fill(1)
>>> a
array([1.,  1.])

Fill expects a scalar value and always behaves the same as assigning to a single array element. The following is a rare example where this distinction is important:

>>> a = np.array([None, None], dtype=object)
>>> a[0] = np.array(3)
>>> a
array([array(3), None], dtype=object)
>>> a.fill(np.array(3))
>>> a
array([array(3), array(3)], dtype=object)

Where other forms of assignments will unpack the array being assigned:

>>> a[...] = np.array(3)
>>> a
array([3, 3], dtype=object)
static findinputslice(coord, sliceshape, sheetshape)[source]#

Gets the matrix indices of a slice within an array of size sheetshape from a sliceshape, positioned at coord.

flags#

Information about the memory layout of the array.

Attributes#

C_CONTIGUOUS (C)

The data is in a single, C-style contiguous segment.

F_CONTIGUOUS (F)

The data is in a single, Fortran-style contiguous segment.

OWNDATA (O)

The array owns the memory it uses or borrows it from another object.

WRITEABLE (W)

The data area can be written to. Setting this to False locks the data, making it read-only. A view (slice, etc.) inherits WRITEABLE from its base array at creation time, but a view of a writeable array may be subsequently locked while the base array remains writeable. (The opposite is not true, in that a view of a locked array may not be made writeable. However, currently, locking a base object does not lock any views that already reference it, so under that circumstance it is possible to alter the contents of a locked array via a previously created writeable view onto it.) Attempting to change a non-writeable array raises a RuntimeError exception.

ALIGNED (A)

The data and all elements are aligned appropriately for the hardware.

WRITEBACKIFCOPY (X)

This array is a copy of some other array. The C-API function PyArray_ResolveWritebackIfCopy must be called before deallocating to the base array will be updated with the contents of this array.

FNC

F_CONTIGUOUS and not C_CONTIGUOUS.

FORC

F_CONTIGUOUS or C_CONTIGUOUS (one-segment test).

BEHAVED (B)

ALIGNED and WRITEABLE.

CARRAY (CA)

BEHAVED and C_CONTIGUOUS.

FARRAY (FA)

BEHAVED and F_CONTIGUOUS and not C_CONTIGUOUS.

Notes#

The flags object can be accessed dictionary-like (as in a.flags['WRITEABLE']), or by using lowercased attribute names (as in a.flags.writeable). Short flag names are only supported in dictionary access.

Only the WRITEBACKIFCOPY, WRITEABLE, and ALIGNED flags can be changed by the user, via direct assignment to the attribute or dictionary entry, or by calling ndarray.setflags.

The array flags cannot be set arbitrarily:

  • WRITEBACKIFCOPY can only be set False.

  • ALIGNED can only be set True if the data is truly aligned.

  • WRITEABLE can only be set True if the array owns its own memory or the ultimate owner of the memory exposes a writeable buffer interface or is a string.

Arrays can be both C-style and Fortran-style contiguous simultaneously. This is clear for 1-dimensional arrays, but can also be true for higher dimensional arrays.

Even for contiguous arrays a stride for a given dimension arr.strides[dim] may be arbitrary if arr.shape[dim] == 1 or the array has no elements. It does not generally hold that self.strides[-1] == self.itemsize for C-style contiguous arrays or self.strides[0] == self.itemsize for Fortran-style contiguous arrays is true.

flat#

A 1-D iterator over the array.

This is a numpy.flatiter instance, which acts similarly to, but is not a subclass of, Python’s built-in iterator object.

See Also#

flatten : Return a copy of the array collapsed into one dimension.

flatiter

Examples#

>>> x = np.arange(1, 7).reshape(2, 3)
>>> x
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])
>>> x.flat[3]
4
>>> x.T
array([[1, 4],
       [2, 5],
       [3, 6]])
>>> x.T.flat[3]
5
>>> type(x.flat)
<class 'numpy.flatiter'>

An assignment example:

>>> x.flat = 3; x
array([[3, 3, 3],
       [3, 3, 3]])
>>> x.flat[[1,4]] = 1; x
array([[3, 1, 3],
       [3, 1, 3]])
flatten(order='C')#

Return a copy of the array collapsed into one dimension.

Parameters#

order{‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’, ‘K’}, optional

‘C’ means to flatten in row-major (C-style) order. ‘F’ means to flatten in column-major (Fortran- style) order. ‘A’ means to flatten in column-major order if a is Fortran contiguous in memory, row-major order otherwise. ‘K’ means to flatten a in the order the elements occur in memory. The default is ‘C’.

Returns#

yndarray

A copy of the input array, flattened to one dimension.

See Also#

ravel : Return a flattened array. flat : A 1-D flat iterator over the array.

Examples#

>>> a = np.array([[1,2], [3,4]])
>>> a.flatten()
array([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> a.flatten('F')
array([1, 3, 2, 4])
getfield(dtype, offset=0)#

Returns a field of the given array as a certain type.

A field is a view of the array data with a given data-type. The values in the view are determined by the given type and the offset into the current array in bytes. The offset needs to be such that the view dtype fits in the array dtype; for example an array of dtype complex128 has 16-byte elements. If taking a view with a 32-bit integer (4 bytes), the offset needs to be between 0 and 12 bytes.

Parameters#

dtypestr or dtype

The data type of the view. The dtype size of the view can not be larger than that of the array itself.

offsetint

Number of bytes to skip before beginning the element view.

Examples#

>>> x = np.diag([1.+1.j]*2)
>>> x[1, 1] = 2 + 4.j
>>> x
array([[1.+1.j,  0.+0.j],
       [0.+0.j,  2.+4.j]])
>>> x.getfield(np.float64)
array([[1.,  0.],
       [0.,  2.]])

By choosing an offset of 8 bytes we can select the complex part of the array for our view:

>>> x.getfield(np.float64, offset=8)
array([[1.,  0.],
       [0.,  4.]])
imag#

The imaginary part of the array.

Examples#

>>> x = np.sqrt([1+0j, 0+1j])
>>> x.imag
array([ 0.        ,  0.70710678])
>>> x.imag.dtype
dtype('float64')
item(*args)#

Copy an element of an array to a standard Python scalar and return it.

Parameters#

*args : Arguments (variable number and type)

  • none: in this case, the method only works for arrays with one element (a.size == 1), which element is copied into a standard Python scalar object and returned.

  • int_type: this argument is interpreted as a flat index into the array, specifying which element to copy and return.

  • tuple of int_types: functions as does a single int_type argument, except that the argument is interpreted as an nd-index into the array.

Returns#

zStandard Python scalar object

A copy of the specified element of the array as a suitable Python scalar

Notes#

When the data type of a is longdouble or clongdouble, item() returns a scalar array object because there is no available Python scalar that would not lose information. Void arrays return a buffer object for item(), unless fields are defined, in which case a tuple is returned.

item is very similar to a[args], except, instead of an array scalar, a standard Python scalar is returned. This can be useful for speeding up access to elements of the array and doing arithmetic on elements of the array using Python’s optimized math.

Examples#

>>> np.random.seed(123)
>>> x = np.random.randint(9, size=(3, 3))
>>> x
array([[2, 2, 6],
       [1, 3, 6],
       [1, 0, 1]])
>>> x.item(3)
1
>>> x.item(7)
0
>>> x.item((0, 1))
2
>>> x.item((2, 2))
1
itemset(*args)#

Insert scalar into an array (scalar is cast to array’s dtype, if possible)

There must be at least 1 argument, and define the last argument as item. Then, a.itemset(*args) is equivalent to but faster than a[args] = item. The item should be a scalar value and args must select a single item in the array a.

Parameters#

*argsArguments

If one argument: a scalar, only used in case a is of size 1. If two arguments: the last argument is the value to be set and must be a scalar, the first argument specifies a single array element location. It is either an int or a tuple.

Notes#

Compared to indexing syntax, itemset provides some speed increase for placing a scalar into a particular location in an ndarray, if you must do this. However, generally this is discouraged: among other problems, it complicates the appearance of the code. Also, when using itemset (and item) inside a loop, be sure to assign the methods to a local variable to avoid the attribute look-up at each loop iteration.

Examples#

>>> np.random.seed(123)
>>> x = np.random.randint(9, size=(3, 3))
>>> x
array([[2, 2, 6],
       [1, 3, 6],
       [1, 0, 1]])
>>> x.itemset(4, 0)
>>> x.itemset((2, 2), 9)
>>> x
array([[2, 2, 6],
       [1, 0, 6],
       [1, 0, 9]])
itemsize#

Length of one array element in bytes.

Examples#

>>> x = np.array([1,2,3], dtype=np.float64)
>>> x.itemsize
8
>>> x = np.array([1,2,3], dtype=np.complex128)
>>> x.itemsize
16

newbyteorder(new_order='S', /)#

Return the array with the same data viewed with a different byte order.

Equivalent to:

arr.view(arr.dtype.newbytorder(new_order))

Changes are also made in all fields and sub-arrays of the array data type.

Parameters#

new_orderstring, optional

Byte order to force; a value from the byte order specifications below. new_order codes can be any of:

  • ‘S’ - swap dtype from current to opposite endian

  • {‘<’, ‘little’} - little endian

  • {‘>’, ‘big’} - big endian

  • {‘=’, ‘native’} - native order, equivalent to sys.byteorder

  • {‘|’, ‘I’} - ignore (no change to byte order)

The default value (‘S’) results in swapping the current byte order.

Returns#

new_arrarray

New array object with the dtype reflecting given change to the byte order.

nonzero()#

Return the indices of the elements that are non-zero.

Refer to numpy.nonzero for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.nonzero : equivalent function

partition(kth, axis=-1, kind='introselect', order=None)#

Rearranges the elements in the array in such a way that the value of the element in kth position is in the position it would be in a sorted array. All elements smaller than the kth element are moved before this element and all equal or greater are moved behind it. The ordering of the elements in the two partitions is undefined.

New in version 1.8.0.

Parameters#

kthint or sequence of ints

Element index to partition by. The kth element value will be in its final sorted position and all smaller elements will be moved before it and all equal or greater elements behind it. The order of all elements in the partitions is undefined. If provided with a sequence of kth it will partition all elements indexed by kth of them into their sorted position at once.

Deprecated since version 1.22.0: Passing booleans as index is deprecated.

axisint, optional

Axis along which to sort. Default is -1, which means sort along the last axis.

kind{‘introselect’}, optional

Selection algorithm. Default is ‘introselect’.

orderstr or list of str, optional

When a is an array with fields defined, this argument specifies which fields to compare first, second, etc. A single field can be specified as a string, and not all fields need to be specified, but unspecified fields will still be used, in the order in which they come up in the dtype, to break ties.

See Also#

numpy.partition : Return a partitioned copy of an array. argpartition : Indirect partition. sort : Full sort.

Notes#

See np.partition for notes on the different algorithms.

Examples#

>>> a = np.array([3, 4, 2, 1])
>>> a.partition(3)
>>> a
array([2, 1, 3, 4])
>>> a.partition((1, 3))
>>> a
array([1, 2, 3, 4])

Also stores the input_sheet_slice for access by C.

positionlesscrop(x, y, sheet_coord_system)[source]#

Return the correct slice for a weights/mask matrix at this ConnectionField’s location on the sheet (i.e. for getting the correct submatrix of the weights or mask in case the unit is near the edge of the sheet).

numpy.repeat : equivalent function

reshape(shape, order='C')#

Returns an array containing the same data with a new shape.

Refer to numpy.reshape for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.reshape : equivalent function

Notes#

Unlike the free function numpy.reshape, this method on ndarray allows the elements of the shape parameter to be passed in as separate arguments. For example, a.reshape(10, 11) is equivalent to a.reshape((10, 11)).

resize(new_shape, refcheck=True)#

Change shape and size of array in-place.

Parameters#

new_shapetuple of ints, or n ints

Shape of resized array.

refcheckbool, optional

If False, reference count will not be checked. Default is True.

Returns#

None

Raises#

ValueError

If a does not own its own data or references or views to it exist, and the data memory must be changed. PyPy only: will always raise if the data memory must be changed, since there is no reliable way to determine if references or views to it exist.

SystemError

If the order keyword argument is specified. This behaviour is a bug in NumPy.

See Also#

resize : Return a new array with the specified shape.

Notes#

This reallocates space for the data area if necessary.

Only contiguous arrays (data elements consecutive in memory) can be resized.

The purpose of the reference count check is to make sure you do not use this array as a buffer for another Python object and then reallocate the memory. However, reference counts can increase in other ways so if you are sure that you have not shared the memory for this array with another Python object, then you may safely set refcheck to False.

Examples#

Shrinking an array: array is flattened (in the order that the data are stored in memory), resized, and reshaped:

>>> a = np.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]], order='C')
>>> a.resize((2, 1))
>>> a
array([[0],
       [1]])
>>> a = np.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]], order='F')
>>> a.resize((2, 1))
>>> a
array([[0],
       [2]])

Enlarging an array: as above, but missing entries are filled with zeros:

>>> b = np.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]])
>>> b.resize(2, 3) # new_shape parameter doesn't have to be a tuple
>>> b
array([[0, 1, 2],
       [3, 0, 0]])

Referencing an array prevents resizing…

>>> c = a
>>> a.resize((1, 1))
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: cannot resize an array that references or is referenced ...

Unless refcheck is False:

>>> a.resize((1, 1), refcheck=False)
>>> a
array([[0]])
>>> c
array([[0]])
round(decimals=0, out=None)#

Return a with each element rounded to the given number of decimals.

Refer to numpy.around for full documentation.

       [0.,  1.,  0.],
       [0.,  0.,  1.]])
>>> x.setfield(3, np.int32)
>>> x.getfield(np.int32)
array([[3, 3, 3],
       [3, 3, 3],
       [3, 3, 3]], dtype=int32)
>>> x
array([[1.0e+000, 1.5e-323, 1.5e-323],
       [1.5e-323, 1.0e+000, 1.5e-323],
       [1.5e-323, 1.5e-323, 1.0e+000]])
>>> x.setfield(np.eye(3), np.int32)
>>> x
array([[1.,  0.,  0.],
       [0.,  1.,  0.],
       [0.,  0.,  1.]])
setflags(write=None, align=None, uic=None)#

Set array flags WRITEABLE, ALIGNED, WRITEBACKIFCOPY, respectively.

These Boolean-valued flags affect how numpy interprets the memory area used by a (see Notes below). The ALIGNED flag can only be set to True if the data is actually aligned according to the type. The WRITEBACKIFCOPY and flag can never be set to True. The flag WRITEABLE can only be set to True if the array owns its own memory, or the ultimate owner of the memory exposes a writeable buffer interface, or is a string. (The exception for string is made so that unpickling can be done without copying memory.)

Parameters#

writebool, optional

Describes whether or not a can be written to.

alignbool, optional

Describes whether or not a is aligned properly for its type.

uicbool, optional

Describes whether or not a is a copy of another “base” array.

Notes#

Array flags provide information about how the memory area used for the array is to be interpreted. There are 7 Boolean flags in use, only four of which can be changed by the user: WRITEBACKIFCOPY, WRITEABLE, and ALIGNED.

WRITEABLE (W) the data area can be written to;

ALIGNED (A) the data and strides are aligned appropriately for the hardware (as determined by the compiler);

WRITEBACKIFCOPY (X) this array is a copy of some other array (referenced by .base). When the C-API function PyArray_ResolveWritebackIfCopy is called, the base array will be updated with the contents of this array.

All flags can be accessed using the single (upper case) letter as well as the full name.

Examples#

>>> y = np.array([[3, 1, 7],
...               [2, 0, 0],
...               [8, 5, 9]])
>>> y
array([[3, 1, 7],
       [2, 0, 0],
       [8, 5, 9]])
>>> y.flags
  C_CONTIGUOUS : True
  F_CONTIGUOUS : False
  OWNDATA : True
  WRITEABLE : True
  ALIGNED : True
  WRITEBACKIFCOPY : False
>>> y.setflags(write=0, align=0)
>>> y.flags
  C_CONTIGUOUS : True
  F_CONTIGUOUS : False
  OWNDATA : True
  WRITEABLE : False
  ALIGNED : False
  WRITEBACKIFCOPY : False
>>> y.setflags(uic=1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: cannot set WRITEBACKIFCOPY flag to True
shape#

Tuple of array dimensions.

The shape property is usually used to get the current shape of an array, but may also be used to reshape the array in-place by assigning a tuple of array dimensions to it. As with numpy.reshape, one of the new shape dimensions can be -1, in which case its value is inferred from the size of the array and the remaining dimensions. Reshaping an array in-place will fail if a copy is required.

Warning

Setting arr.shape is discouraged and may be deprecated in the future. Using ndarray.reshape is the preferred approach.

Examples#

>>> x = np.array([1, 2, 3, 4])
>>> x.shape
(4,)
>>> y = np.zeros((2, 3, 4))
>>> y.shape
(2, 3, 4)
>>> y.shape = (3, 8)
>>> y
array([[ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.],
       [ 0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.,  0.]])
>>> y.shape = (3, 6)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: total size of new array must be unchanged
>>> np.zeros((4,2))[::2].shape = (-1,)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: Incompatible shape for in-place modification. Use
`.reshape()` to make a copy with the desired shape.

See Also#

numpy.shape : Equivalent getter function. numpy.reshape : Function similar to setting shape. ndarray.reshape : Method similar to setting shape.

shape_on_sheet()[source]#

Return the shape of the array of the Slice on its sheet.

size#

Number of elements in the array.

Equal to np.prod(a.shape), i.e., the product of the array’s dimensions.

Notes#

a.size returns a standard arbitrary precision Python integer. This may not be the case with other methods of obtaining the same value (like the suggested np.prod(a.shape), which returns an instance of np.int_), and may be relevant if the value is used further in calculations that may overflow a fixed size integer type.

Examples#

>>> x = np.zeros((3, 5, 2), dtype=np.complex128)
>>> x.size
30
>>> np.prod(x.shape)
30
sort(axis=-1, kind=None, order=None)#

Sort an array in-place. Refer to numpy.sort for full documentation.

Parameters#

axisint, optional

Axis along which to sort. Default is -1, which means sort along the last axis.

kind{‘quicksort’, ‘mergesort’, ‘heapsort’, ‘stable’}, optional

Sorting algorithm. The default is ‘quicksort’. Note that both ‘stable’ and ‘mergesort’ use timsort under the covers and, in general, the actual implementation will vary with datatype. The ‘mergesort’ option is retained for backwards compatibility.

Changed in version 1.15.0: The ‘stable’ option was added.

orderstr or list of str, optional

When a is an array with fields defined, this argument specifies which fields to compare first, second, etc. A single field can be specified as a string, and not all fields need be specified, but unspecified fields will still be used, in the order in which they come up in the dtype, to break ties.

See Also#

numpy.sort : Return a sorted copy of an array. numpy.argsort : Indirect sort. numpy.lexsort : Indirect stable sort on multiple keys. numpy.searchsorted : Find elements in sorted array. numpy.partition: Partial sort.

Notes#

See numpy.sort for notes on the different sorting algorithms.

Examples#

>>> a = np.array([[1,4], [3,1]])
>>> a.sort(axis=1)
>>> a
array([[1, 4],
       [1, 3]])
>>> a.sort(axis=0)
>>> a
array([[1, 3],
       [1, 4]])

Use the order keyword to specify a field to use when sorting a structured array:

>>> a = np.array([('a', 2), ('c', 1)], dtype=[('x', 'S1'), ('y', int)])
>>> a.sort(order='y')
>>> a
array([(b'c', 1), (b'a', 2)],
      dtype=[('x', 'S1'), ('y', '<i8')])
squeeze(axis=None)#

Remove axes of length one from a.

Refer to numpy.squeeze for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.squeeze : equivalent function

std(axis=None, dtype=None, out=None, ddof=0, keepdims=False, *, where=True)#

Returns the standard deviation of the array elements along given axis.

Refer to numpy.std for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.std : equivalent function

strides#

Tuple of bytes to step in each dimension when traversing an array.

The byte offset of element (i[0], i[1], ..., i[n]) in an array a is:

offset = sum(np.array(i) * a.strides)

A more detailed explanation of strides can be found in the “ndarray.rst” file in the NumPy reference guide.

Warning

Setting arr.strides is discouraged and may be deprecated in the future. numpy.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided should be preferred to create a new view of the same data in a safer way.

Notes#

Imagine an array of 32-bit integers (each 4 bytes):

x = np.array([[0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
              [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]], dtype=np.int32)

This array is stored in memory as 40 bytes, one after the other (known as a contiguous block of memory). The strides of an array tell us how many bytes we have to skip in memory to move to the next position along a certain axis. For example, we have to skip 4 bytes (1 value) to move to the next column, but 20 bytes (5 values) to get to the same position in the next row. As such, the strides for the array x will be (20, 4).

See Also#

numpy.lib.stride_tricks.as_strided

Examples#

>>> y = np.reshape(np.arange(2*3*4), (2,3,4))
>>> y
array([[[ 0,  1,  2,  3],
        [ 4,  5,  6,  7],
        [ 8,  9, 10, 11]],
       [[12, 13, 14, 15],
        [16, 17, 18, 19],
        [20, 21, 22, 23]]])
>>> y.strides
(48, 16, 4)
>>> y[1,1,1]
17
>>> offset=sum(y.strides * np.array((1,1,1)))
>>> offset/y.itemsize
17
>>> x = np.reshape(np.arange(5*6*7*8), (5,6,7,8)).transpose(2,3,1,0)
>>> x.strides
(32, 4, 224, 1344)
>>> i = np.array([3,5,2,2])
>>> offset = sum(i * x.strides)
>>> x[3,5,2,2]
813
>>> offset / x.itemsize
813
submatrix(matrix)[source]#

Return the submatrix of the given matrix specified by this slice.

Equivalent to computing the intersection between the SheetCoordinateSystem’s bounds and the bounds, and returning the corresponding submatrix of the given matrix.

The submatrix is just a view into the sheet_matrix; it is not an independent copy.

sum(axis=None, dtype=None, out=None, keepdims=False, initial=0, where=True)#

Return the sum of the array elements over the given axis.

Refer to numpy.sum for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.sum : equivalent function

swapaxes(axis1, axis2)#

Return a view of the array with axis1 and axis2 interchanged.

Refer to numpy.swapaxes for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.swapaxes : equivalent function

take(indices, axis=None, out=None, mode='raise')#

Return an array formed from the elements of a at the given indices.

Refer to numpy.take for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.take : equivalent function

tobytes(order='C')#

Construct Python bytes containing the raw data bytes in the array.

Constructs Python bytes showing a copy of the raw contents of data memory. The bytes object is produced in C-order by default. This behavior is controlled by the order parameter.

New in version 1.9.0.

Parameters#

order{‘C’, ‘F’, ‘A’}, optional

Controls the memory layout of the bytes object. ‘C’ means C-order, ‘F’ means F-order, ‘A’ (short for Any) means ‘F’ if a is Fortran contiguous, ‘C’ otherwise. Default is ‘C’.

Returns#

sbytes

Python bytes exhibiting a copy of a’s raw data.

See also#

frombuffer

Inverse of this operation, construct a 1-dimensional array from Python bytes.

Examples#

>>> x = np.array([[0, 1], [2, 3]], dtype='<u2')
>>> x.tobytes()
b'\x00\x00\x01\x00\x02\x00\x03\x00'
>>> x.tobytes('C') == x.tobytes()
True
>>> x.tobytes('F')
b'\x00\x00\x02\x00\x01\x00\x03\x00'
tofile(fid, sep='', format='%s')#

Write array to a file as text or binary (default).

Data is always written in ‘C’ order, independent of the order of a. The data produced by this method can be recovered using the function fromfile().

Parameters#

fidfile or str or Path

An open file object, or a string containing a filename.

Changed in version 1.17.0: pathlib.Path objects are now accepted.

sepstr

Separator between array items for text output. If “” (empty), a binary file is written, equivalent to file.write(a.tobytes()).

formatstr

Format string for text file output. Each entry in the array is formatted to text by first converting it to the closest Python type, and then using “format” % item.

Notes#

This is a convenience function for quick storage of array data. Information on endianness and precision is lost, so this method is not a good choice for files intended to archive data or transport data between machines with different endianness. Some of these problems can be overcome by outputting the data as text files, at the expense of speed and file size.

When fid is a file object, array contents are directly written to the file, bypassing the file object’s write method. As a result, tofile cannot be used with files objects supporting compression (e.g., GzipFile) or file-like objects that do not support fileno() (e.g., BytesIO).

tolist()#

Return the array as an a.ndim-levels deep nested list of Python scalars.

Return a copy of the array data as a (nested) Python list. Data items are converted to the nearest compatible builtin Python type, via the ~numpy.ndarray.item function.

If a.ndim is 0, then since the depth of the nested list is 0, it will not be a list at all, but a simple Python scalar.

Parameters#

none

Returns#

yobject, or list of object, or list of list of object, or …

The possibly nested list of array elements.

Notes#

The array may be recreated via a = np.array(a.tolist()), although this may sometimes lose precision.

Examples#

For a 1D array, a.tolist() is almost the same as list(a), except that tolist changes numpy scalars to Python scalars:

>>> a = np.uint32([1, 2])
>>> a_list = list(a)
>>> a_list
[1, 2]
>>> type(a_list[0])
<class 'numpy.uint32'>
>>> a_tolist = a.tolist()
>>> a_tolist
[1, 2]
>>> type(a_tolist[0])
<class 'int'>

Additionally, for a 2D array, tolist applies recursively:

>>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> list(a)
[array([1, 2]), array([3, 4])]
>>> a.tolist()
[[1, 2], [3, 4]]

The base case for this recursion is a 0D array:

>>> a = np.array(1)
>>> list(a)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  ...
TypeError: iteration over a 0-d array
>>> a.tolist()
1
tostring(order='C')#

A compatibility alias for tobytes, with exactly the same behavior.

Despite its name, it returns bytes not strs.

Deprecated since version 1.19.0.

trace(offset=0, axis1=0, axis2=1, dtype=None, out=None)#

Return the sum along diagonals of the array.

Refer to numpy.trace for full documentation.

See Also#

numpy.trace : equivalent function

translate(r, c)[source]#

Translate the slice by the given number of rows and columns.

transpose(*axes)#

Returns a view of the array with axes transposed.

Refer to numpy.transpose for full documentation.

Parameters#

axes : None, tuple of ints, or n ints

  • None or no argument: reverses the order of the axes.

  • tuple of ints: i in the j-th place in the tuple means that the array’s i-th axis becomes the transposed array’s j-th axis.

  • n ints: same as an n-tuple of the same ints (this form is intended simply as a “convenience” alternative to the tuple form).

Returns#

pndarray

View of the array with its axes suitably permuted.

See Also#

transpose : Equivalent function. ndarray.T : Array property returning the array transposed. ndarray.reshape : Give a new shape to an array without changing its data.

Examples#

>>> a = np.array([[1, 2], [3, 4]])
>>> a

       [3, 4]])
>>> a.transpose()
array([[1, 3],
       [2, 4]])

view([dtype][, type])#

New view of array with the same data.

Note

Passing None for dtype is different from omitting the parameter, since the former invokes dtype(None) which is an alias for dtype('float_').

Parameters#

dtypedata-type or ndarray sub-class, optional

Data-type descriptor of the returned view, e.g., float32 or int16. Omitting it results in the view having the same data-type as a. This argument can also be specified as an ndarray sub-class, which then specifies the type of the returned object (this is equivalent to setting the type parameter).

typePython type, optional

Type of the returned view, e.g., ndarray or matrix. Again, omission of the parameter results in type preservation.

Notes#

a.view() is used two different ways:

a.view(some_dtype) or a.view(dtype=some_dtype) constructs a view of the array’s memory with a different data-type. This can cause a reinterpretation of the bytes of memory.

a.view(ndarray_subclass) or a.view(type=ndarray_subclass) just returns an instance of ndarray_subclass that looks at the same array (same shape, dtype, etc.) This does not cause a reinterpretation of the memory.

For a.view(some_dtype), if some_dtype has a different number of bytes per entry than the previous dtype (for example, converting a regular array to a structured array), then the last axis of a must be contiguous. This axis will be resized in the result.

Changed in version 1.23.0: Only the last axis needs to be contiguous. Previously, the entire array had to be C-contiguous.

Examples#

>>> x = np.array([(1, 2)], dtype=[('a', np.int8), ('b', np.int8)])

Viewing array data using a different type and dtype:

>>> y = x.view(dtype=np.int16, type=np.matrix)
>>> y
matrix([[513]], dtype=int16)
>>> print(type(y))
<class 'numpy.matrix'>

Creating a view on a structured array so it can be used in calculations

>>> x = np.array([(1, 2),(3,4)], dtype=[('a', np.int8), ('b', np.int8)])
>>> xv = x.view(dtype=np.int8).reshape(-1,2)
>>> xv
array([[1, 2],
       [3, 4]], dtype=int8)
>>> xv.mean(0)
array([2.,  3.])

Making changes to the view changes the underlying array

>>> xv[0,1] = 20
>>> x
array([(1, 20), (3,  4)], dtype=[('a', 'i1'), ('b', 'i1')])

Using a view to convert an array to a recarray:

>>> z = x.view(np.recarray)
>>> z.a
array([1, 3], dtype=int8)

Views share data:

>>> x[0] = (9, 10)
>>> z[0]
(9, 10)

Views that change the dtype size (bytes per entry) should normally be avoided on arrays defined by slices, transposes, fortran-ordering, etc.:

>>> x = np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], dtype=np.int16)
>>> y = x[:, ::2]
>>> y
array([[1, 3],
       [4, 6]], dtype=int16)
>>> y.view(dtype=[('width', np.int16), ('length', np.int16)])
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: To change to a dtype of a different size, the last axis must be contiguous
>>> z = y.copy()
>>> z.view(dtype=[('width', np.int16), ('length', np.int16)])
array([[(1, 3)],
       [(4, 6)]], dtype=[('width', '<i2'), ('length', '<i2')])

However, views that change dtype are totally fine for arrays with a contiguous last axis, even if the rest of the axes are not C-contiguous:

>>> x = np.arange(2 * 3 * 4, dtype=np.int8).reshape(2, 3, 4)
>>> x.transpose(1, 0, 2).view(np.int16)
array([[[ 256,  770],
        [3340, 3854]],

       [[1284, 1798],
        [4368, 4882]],

       [[2312, 2826],
        [5396, 5910]]], dtype=int16)

Inheritance diagram of holoviews.core.spaces
class holoviews.core.spaces.Callable(callable, **params)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

Callable allows wrapping callbacks on one or more DynamicMaps allowing their inputs (and in future outputs) to be defined. This makes it possible to wrap DynamicMaps with streams and makes it possible to traverse the graph of operations applied to a DynamicMap.

Additionally, if the memoize attribute is True, a Callable will memoize the last returned value based on the arguments to the function and the state of all streams on its inputs, to avoid calling the function unnecessarily. Note that because memoization includes the streams found on the inputs it may be disabled if the stream requires it and is triggering.

A Callable may also specify a stream_mapping which specifies the objects that are associated with interactive (i.e. linked) streams when composite objects such as Layouts are returned from the callback. This is required for building interactive, linked visualizations (for the backends that support them) when returning Layouts, NdLayouts or GridSpace objects. When chaining multiple DynamicMaps into a pipeline, the link_inputs parameter declares whether the visualization generated using this Callable will inherit the linked streams. This parameter is used as a hint by the applicable backend.

The mapping should map from an appropriate key to a list of streams associated with the selected object. The appropriate key may be a type[.group][.label] specification for Layouts, an integer index or a suitable NdLayout/GridSpace key. For more information see the DynamicMap tutorial at holoviews.org.

callable = param.Callable(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, constant=True, label=’Callable’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2f3ca0>)

The callable function being wrapped.

inputs = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), constant=True, default=[], label=’Inputs’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2f3a60>)

The list of inputs the callable function is wrapping. Used to allow deep access to streams in chained Callables.

operation_kwargs = param.Dict(allow_refs=False, class_=<class ‘dict’>, constant=True, default={}, label=’Operation kwargs’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2f3eb0>)

Potential dynamic keyword arguments associated with the operation.

link_inputs = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=True, label=’Link inputs’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2f3a90>)

If the Callable wraps around other DynamicMaps in its inputs, determines whether linked streams attached to the inputs are transferred to the objects returned by the Callable. For example the Callable wraps a DynamicMap with an RangeXY stream, this switch determines whether the corresponding visualization should update this stream with range changes originating from the newly generated axes.

memoize = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=True, label=’Memoize’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2f3f40>)

Whether the return value of the callable should be memoized based on the call arguments and any streams attached to the inputs.

operation = param.Callable(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, label=’Operation’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2f3d00>)

The function being applied by the Callable. May be used to record the transform(s) being applied inside the callback function.

stream_mapping = param.Dict(allow_refs=False, class_=<class ‘dict’>, constant=True, default={}, label=’Stream mapping’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2f3ee0>)

Defines how streams should be mapped to objects returned by the Callable, e.g. when it returns a Layout.

Args:

callable: New callable function to wrap **overrides: Parameter overrides to apply

Returns:

Cloned Callable object

property noargs#

Returns True if the callable takes no arguments

class holoviews.core.spaces.DynamicMap(callback, initial_items=None, streams=None, **params)[source]#

Bases: HoloMap

A DynamicMap is a type of HoloMap where the elements are dynamically generated by a callable. The callable is invoked with values associated with the key dimensions or with values supplied by stream parameters.

Parameters inherited from:

kdims = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), constant=True, default=[], label=’Kdims’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2a2dd0>)

The key dimensions of a DynamicMap map to the arguments of the callback. This mapping can be by position or by name.

callback = param.ClassSelector(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, class_=<class ‘holoviews.core.spaces.Callable’>, constant=True, label=’Callback’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2a1210>)

The callable used to generate the elements. The arguments to the callable includes any number of declared key dimensions as well as any number of stream parameters defined on the input streams. If the callable is an instance of Callable it will be used directly, otherwise it will be automatically wrapped in one.

streams = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), constant=True, default=[], label=’Streams’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2a12d0>)

List of Stream instances to associate with the DynamicMap. The set of parameter values across these streams will be supplied as keyword arguments to the callback when the events are received, updating the streams. Can also be supplied as a dictionary that maps parameters or panel widgets to callback argument names that will then be automatically converted to the equivalent list format.

cache_size = param.Integer(allow_refs=False, bounds=(1, None), default=500, inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Cache size’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2a1240>)

The number of entries to cache for fast access. This is an LRU cache where the least recently used item is overwritten once the cache is full.

positional_stream_args = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, constant=True, default=False, label=’Positional stream args’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52da2a1bd0>)

If False, stream parameters are passed to the callback as keyword arguments. If True, stream parameters are passed to callback as positional arguments. Each positional argument is a dict containing the contents of a stream. The positional stream arguments follow the positional arguments for each kdim, and they are ordered to match the order of the DynamicMap’s streams list.

class holoviews.core.util.Config(*, default_cmap, default_gridded_cmap, default_heatmap_cmap, future_deprecations, image_rtol, no_padding, warn_options_call, name)[source]#

Bases: ParameterizedFunction

Set of boolean configuration values to change HoloViews’ global behavior. Typically used to control warnings relating to deprecations or set global parameter such as style ‘themes’.

future_deprecations = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=False, label=’Future deprecations’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bf91b0>)

Whether to warn about future deprecations

image_rtol = param.Number(allow_refs=False, default=0.001, inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Image rtol’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bf92a0>)

The tolerance used to enforce regular sampling for regular, gridded data where regular sampling is expected. Expressed as the maximal allowable sampling difference between sample locations.

no_padding = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=False, label=’No padding’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bfb7c0>)

Disable default padding (introduced in 1.13.0).

warn_options_call = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=True, label=’Warn options call’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bf9270>)

Whether to warn when the deprecated __call__ options syntax is used (the opts method should now be used instead). It is recommended that users switch this on to update any uses of __call__ as it will be deprecated in future.

default_gridded_cmap = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’kbc_r’, label=’Default gridded cmap’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bfbdc0>)

Global default colormap for gridded elements (i.e. Image, Raster and QuadMesh). Can be set to ‘fire’ to match raster defaults prior to HoloViews 1.14.0 while allowing the default_cmap to be the value of ‘kbc_r’ used in HoloViews >= 1.14.0

default_heatmap_cmap = param.String(allow_refs=False, default=’kbc_r’, label=’Default heatmap cmap’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bf8fa0>)

Global default colormap for HeatMap elements. Prior to HoloViews 1.14.0, the default value was the ‘RdYlBu_r’ colormap.

classmethod instance(**params)[source]#

Return an instance of this class, copying parameters from any existing instance provided.

class holoviews.core.util.HashableJSON(*, skipkeys=False, ensure_ascii=True, check_circular=True, allow_nan=True, sort_keys=False, indent=None, separators=None, default=None)[source]#

Bases: JSONEncoder

Extends JSONEncoder to generate a hashable string for as many types of object as possible including nested objects and objects that are not normally hashable. The purpose of this class is to generate unique strings that once hashed are suitable for use in memoization and other cases where deep equality must be tested without storing the entire object.

By default JSONEncoder supports booleans, numbers, strings, lists, tuples and dictionaries. In order to support other types such as sets, datetime objects and mutable objects such as pandas Dataframes or numpy arrays, HashableJSON has to convert these types to datastructures that can normally be represented as JSON.

Support for other object types may need to be introduced in future. By default, unrecognized object types are represented by their id.

One limitation of this approach is that dictionaries with composite keys (e.g. tuples) are not supported due to the JSON spec.

default(obj)[source]#

Implement this method in a subclass such that it returns a serializable object for o, or calls the base implementation (to raise a TypeError).

For example, to support arbitrary iterators, you could implement default like this:

def default(self, o):
    try:
        iterable = iter(o)
    except TypeError:
        pass
    else:
        return list(iterable)
    # Let the base class default method raise the TypeError
    return JSONEncoder.default(self, o)
encode(o)[source]#

Return a JSON string representation of a Python data structure.

>>> from json.encoder import JSONEncoder
>>> JSONEncoder().encode({"foo": ["bar", "baz"]})
'{"foo": ["bar", "baz"]}'
iterencode(o, _one_shot=False)[source]#

Encode the given object and yield each string representation as available.

For example:

for chunk in JSONEncoder().iterencode(bigobject):
    mysocket.write(chunk)
class holoviews.core.util.ProgressIndicator(*, label, percent_range, name)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

Baseclass for any ProgressIndicator that indicates progress as a completion percentage.

percent_range = param.NumericTuple(allow_refs=False, default=(0.0, 100.0), label=’Percent range’, length=2, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bfb970>)

The total percentage spanned by the progress bar when called with a value between 0% and 100%. This allows an overall completion in percent to be broken down into smaller sub-tasks that individually complete to 100 percent.

label = param.String(allow_None=True, allow_refs=False, default=’Progress’, label=’Label’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bfa4d0>)

The label of the current progress bar.

holoviews.core.util.cftime_to_timestamp(date, time_unit='us')[source]#

Converts cftime to timestamp since epoch in milliseconds

Non-standard calendars (e.g. Julian or no leap calendars) are converted to standard Gregorian calendar. This can cause extra space to be added for dates that don’t exist in the original calendar. In order to handle these dates correctly a custom bokeh model with support for other calendars would have to be defined.

class holoviews.core.util.periodic(period, count, callback, timeout=None, block=False)[source]#

Bases: Thread

Run a callback count times with a given period without blocking.

If count is None, will run till timeout (which may be forever if None).

property daemon#

A boolean value indicating whether this thread is a daemon thread.

This must be set before start() is called, otherwise RuntimeError is raised. Its initial value is inherited from the creating thread; the main thread is not a daemon thread and therefore all threads created in the main thread default to daemon = False.

The entire Python program exits when only daemon threads are left.

getName()[source]#

Return a string used for identification purposes only.

This method is deprecated, use the name attribute instead.

property ident#

Thread identifier of this thread or None if it has not been started.

This is a nonzero integer. See the get_ident() function. Thread identifiers may be recycled when a thread exits and another thread is created. The identifier is available even after the thread has exited.

isDaemon()[source]#

Return whether this thread is a daemon.

This method is deprecated, use the daemon attribute instead.

is_alive()[source]#

Return whether the thread is alive.

This method returns True just before the run() method starts until just after the run() method terminates. See also the module function enumerate().

join(timeout=None)[source]#

Wait until the thread terminates.

This blocks the calling thread until the thread whose join() method is called terminates – either normally or through an unhandled exception or until the optional timeout occurs.

When the timeout argument is present and not None, it should be a floating point number specifying a timeout for the operation in seconds (or fractions thereof). As join() always returns None, you must call is_alive() after join() to decide whether a timeout happened – if the thread is still alive, the join() call timed out.

When the timeout argument is not present or None, the operation will block until the thread terminates.

A thread can be join()ed many times.

join() raises a RuntimeError if an attempt is made to join the current thread as that would cause a deadlock. It is also an error to join() a thread before it has been started and attempts to do so raises the same exception.

property name#

A string used for identification purposes only.

It has no semantics. Multiple threads may be given the same name. The initial name is set by the constructor.

property native_id#

Native integral thread ID of this thread, or None if it has not been started.

This is a non-negative integer. See the get_native_id() function. This represents the Thread ID as reported by the kernel.

run()[source]#

Method representing the thread’s activity.

You may override this method in a subclass. The standard run() method invokes the callable object passed to the object’s constructor as the target argument, if any, with sequential and keyword arguments taken from the args and kwargs arguments, respectively.

setDaemon(daemonic)[source]#

Set whether this thread is a daemon.

This method is deprecated, use the .daemon property instead.

setName(name)[source]#

Set the name string for this thread.

This method is deprecated, use the name attribute instead.

start()[source]#

Start the thread’s activity.

It must be called at most once per thread object. It arranges for the object’s run() method to be invoked in a separate thread of control.

This method will raise a RuntimeError if called more than once on the same thread object.

holoviews.core.util.process_ellipses(obj, key, vdim_selection=False)[source]#

Helper function to pad a __getitem__ key with the right number of empty slices (i.e. :) when the key contains an Ellipsis (…).

If the vdim_selection flag is true, check if the end of the key contains strings or Dimension objects in obj. If so, extra padding will not be applied for the value dimensions (i.e. the resulting key will be exactly one longer than the number of kdims). Note: this flag should not be used for composite types.

holoviews.core.util.range_pad(lower, upper, padding=None, log=False)[source]#

Pads the range by a fraction of the interval

holoviews.core.util.rename_stream_kwargs(stream, kwargs, reverse=False)[source]#

Given a stream and a kwargs dictionary of parameter values, map to the corresponding dictionary where the keys are substituted with the appropriately renamed string.

If reverse, the output will be a dictionary using the original parameter names given a dictionary using the renamed equivalents.

holoviews.core.util.resolve_dependent_kwargs(kwargs)[source]#

Resolves parameter dependencies in the supplied dictionary

Resolves parameter values, Parameterized instance methods and parameterized functions with dependencies in the supplied dictionary.

Args:

kwargs (dict): A dictionary of keyword arguments

class holoviews.core.util.sanitize_identifier_fn(*, _lookup_table, aliases, capitalize, disable_leading_underscore, disallowed, eliminations, substitutions, transforms, name)[source]#

Bases: ParameterizedFunction

Sanitizes group/label values for use in AttrTree attribute access.

Special characters are sanitized using their (lowercase) unicode name using the unicodedata module. For instance:

>>> unicodedata.name(u'$').lower()
'dollar sign'

As these names are often very long, this parameterized function allows filtered, substitutions and transforms to help shorten these names appropriately.

capitalize = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=True, label=’Capitalize’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bfa6b0>)

Whether the first letter should be converted to uppercase. Note, this will only be applied to ASCII characters in order to make sure paths aren’t confused with method names.

eliminations = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), default=[‘extended’, ‘accent’, ‘small’, ‘letter’, ‘sign’, ‘digit’, ‘latin’, ‘greek’, ‘arabic-indic’, ‘with’, ‘dollar’], label=’Eliminations’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bfb3a0>)

Lowercase strings to be eliminated from the unicode names in order to shorten the sanitized name ( lowercase). Redundant strings should be removed but too much elimination could cause two unique strings to map to the same sanitized output.

substitutions = param.Dict(allow_refs=False, class_=<class ‘dict’>, default={‘circumflex’: ‘power’, ‘asterisk’: ‘times’, ‘solidus’: ‘over’}, label=’Substitutions’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bfbd00>)

Lowercase substitutions of substrings in unicode names. For instance the ^ character has the name ‘circumflex accent’ even though it is more typically used for exponentiation. Note that substitutions occur after filtering and that there should be no ordering dependence between substitutions.

transforms = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), default=[<function capitalize_unicode_name at 0x7f52f9d745e0>], label=’Transforms’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bfb340>)

List of string transformation functions to apply after filtering and substitution in order to further compress the unicode name. For instance, the default capitalize_unicode_name function will turn the string “capital delta” into “Delta”.

disallowed = param.List(allow_refs=False, bounds=(0, None), default=[‘trait_names’, ‘_ipython_display_’, ‘_getAttributeNames’], label=’Disallowed’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bfb040>)

An explicit list of name that should not be allowed as attribute names on Tree objects. By default, prevents IPython from creating an entry called Trait_names due to an inconvenient getattr check (during tab-completion).

disable_leading_underscore = param.Boolean(allow_refs=False, default=False, label=’Disable leading underscore’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bf95d0>)

Whether leading underscores should be allowed to be sanitized with the leading prefix.

aliases = param.Dict(allow_refs=False, class_=<class ‘dict’>, default={}, label=’Aliases’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bf9810>)

A dictionary of aliases mapping long strings to their short, sanitized equivalents

_lookup_table = param.Dict(allow_refs=False, class_=<class ‘dict’>, default={}, label=’ lookup table’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x7f52d9bf9030>)

Cache of previously computed sanitizations

add_aliases(**kwargs)[source]#

Conveniently add new aliases as keyword arguments. For instance you can add a new alias with add_aliases(short=’Longer string’)

classmethod instance(**params)[source]#

Return an instance of this class, copying parameters from any existing instance provided.

prefixed(identifier)[source]#

Whether or not the identifier will be prefixed. Strings that require the prefix are generally not recommended.

remove_aliases(aliases)[source]#

Remove a list of aliases.

remove_diacritics(identifier)[source]#

Remove diacritics and accents from the input leaving other unicode characters alone.

sanitize(name, valid_fn)[source]#

Accumulate blocks of hex and separate blocks by underscores

shortened_character_name(c, eliminations=None, substitutions=None, transforms=None)[source]#

Given a unicode character c, return the shortened unicode name (as a list of tokens) by applying the eliminations, substitutions and transforms.

holoviews.core.util.search_indices(values, source)[source]#

Given a set of values returns the indices of each of those values in the source array.

holoviews.core.util.sort_topologically(graph)[source]#

Stackless topological sorting.

graph = {

3: [1], 5: [3], 4: [2], 6: [4],

}

sort_topologically(graph) [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]

holoviews.core.util.stream_name_mapping(stream, exclude_params=None, reverse=False)[source]#

Return a complete dictionary mapping between stream parameter names to their applicable renames, excluding parameters listed in exclude_params.

If reverse is True, the mapping is from the renamed strings to the original stream parameter names.

holoviews.core.util.stream_parameters(streams, no_duplicates=True, exclude=None)[source]#

Given a list of streams, return a flat list of parameter name, excluding those listed in the exclude list.

If no_duplicates is enabled, a KeyError will be raised if there are parameter name clashes across the streams.

holoviews.core.util.tree_attribute(identifier)[source]#

Predicate that returns True for custom attributes added to AttrTrees that are not methods, properties or internal attributes.

These custom attributes start with a capitalized character when applicable (not applicable to underscore or certain unicode characters)

holoviews.core.util.unbound_dimensions(streams, kdims, no_duplicates=True)[source]#

Return a list of dimensions that have not been associated with any streams.

holoviews.core.util.unique_array(arr)[source]#

Returns an array of unique values in the input order.

Args:

arr (np.ndarray or list): The array to compute unique values on

Returns:

A new array of unique values

holoviews.core.util.unique_iterator(seq)[source]#

Returns an iterator containing all non-duplicate elements in the input sequence.

holoviews.core.util.unique_zip(*args)[source]#

Returns a unique list of zipped values.

holoviews.core.util.validate_dynamic_argspec(callback, kdims, streams)[source]#

Utility used by DynamicMap to ensure the supplied callback has an appropriate signature.

If validation succeeds, returns a list of strings to be zipped with the positional arguments, i.e. kdim values. The zipped values can then be merged with the stream values to pass everything to the Callable as keywords.

If the callbacks use *args, None is returned to indicate that kdim values must be passed to the Callable by position. In this situation, Callable passes *args and **kwargs directly to the callback.

If the callback doesn’t use **kwargs, the accepted keywords are validated against the stream parameter names.

holoviews.core.util.validate_regular_sampling(values, rtol=1e-05)[source]#

Validates regular sampling of a 1D array ensuring that the difference in sampling steps is at most rtol times the smallest sampling step. Returns a boolean indicating whether the sampling is regular.

holoviews.core.util.wrap_tuple(unwrapped)[source]#

Wraps any non-tuple types in a tuple

holoviews.core.util.wrap_tuple_streams(unwrapped, kdims, streams)[source]#

Fills in tuple keys with dimensioned stream values as appropriate.
