holoviews.core.layout module#

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’:

3 | |

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

Parameter Definitions

Parameters inherited from:

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.

Parameter Definitions

Parameters inherited from:

group = String(constant=True, default='Dimensioned', label='Group')

A string describing the data wrapped by the object.

cdims = Dict(class_=<class 'dict'>, default={}, label='Cdims')

kdims = List(bounds=(0, None), constant=True, default=[], label='Kdims')

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 = List(bounds=(0, None), constant=True, default=[], label='Vdims')

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.

obj.options(cmap=’viridis’, show_title=False)

If the object is nested the options must be qualified using a type[.group][.label] specification, e.g.:

obj.options(‘Image’, cmap=’viridis’, show_title=False)

or using:

obj.options({‘Image’: dict(cmap=’viridis’, show_title=False)})

Identical to the .opts method but returns a clone of the object by default.

    Scalar values will select rows along with an exact match, e.g.:

    ds.select(x=3)

  • slice

    Slices may be declared as tuples of the upper and lower bound, e.g.:

    ds.select(x=(0, 3))

  • values

    A list of values may be selected using a list or set, e.g.:

    ds.select(x=[0, 1, 2])

Parameters#

selection_specsList of specs to match on

A list of types, functions, or type[.group][.label] strings specifying which objects to apply the selection on.

**selection: Dictionary declaring selections by dimension

class holoviews.core.layout.Empty(*, cdims, kdims, vdims, group, label, name)[source]#

Bases: Dimensioned, Composable

Empty may be used to define an empty placeholder in a Layout. It can be placed in a Layout just like any regular Element and container type via the + operator or by passing it to the Layout constructor as a part of a list.

Parameter Definitions

Parameters inherited from:

group = String(default='Empty', label='Group')

A string describing the data wrapped by the object.

class holoviews.core.layout.Layout(items=None, identifier=None, parent=None, **kwargs)[source]#

Bases: Layoutable, ViewableTree

A Layout is an ViewableTree with ViewableElement objects as leaf values.

Unlike ViewableTree, a Layout supports a rich display, displaying leaf items in a grid style layout. In addition to the usual ViewableTree indexing, Layout supports indexing of items by their row and column index in the layout.

The maximum number of columns in such a layout may be controlled with the cols method.

Parameter Definitions

Parameters inherited from:

group = String(constant=True, default='Layout', label='Group')

A string describing the data wrapped by the object.

clone(*args, **overrides)[source]#

Clones the Layout, overriding data and parameters.

**overrides

New keyword arguments to pass to constructor

Returns#

Cloned Layout object

cols(ncols)[source]#

Sets the maximum number of columns in the NdLayout.

Any items beyond the set number of cols will flow onto a new row. The number of columns control the indexing and display semantics of the NdLayout.

Parameters#

ncolsint

Number of columns to set on the NdLayout

decollate()[source]#

Packs Layout of DynamicMaps into a single DynamicMap that returns a Layout

Decollation allows packing a Layout of DynamicMaps into a single DynamicMap that returns a Layout of simple (non-dynamic) elements. All nested streams are lifted to the resulting DynamicMap, and are available in the streams property. The callback property of the resulting DynamicMap is a pure, stateless function of the stream values. To avoid stream parameter name conflicts, the resulting DynamicMap is configured with positional_stream_args=True, and the callback function accepts stream values as positional dict arguments.

Returns#

DynamicMap that returns a Layout

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

Bases: MultiDimensionalMapping

NdMapping supports the same indexing semantics as MultiDimensionalMapping but also supports slicing semantics.

Slicing semantics on an NdMapping is dependent on the ordering semantics of the keys. As MultiDimensionalMapping sort the keys, a slice on an NdMapping is effectively a way of filtering out the keys that are outside the slice range.

Parameter Definitions

Parameters inherited from:

group = String(constant=True, default='NdMapping', label='Group')

A string describing the data wrapped by the object.

class holoviews.core.layout.UniformNdMapping(initial_items=None, kdims=None, group=None, label=None, **params)[source]#

A UniformNdMapping is a map of Dimensioned objects and is itself indexed over a number of specified dimensions. The dimension may be a spatial dimension (i.e., a ZStack), time (specifying a frame sequence) or any other combination of Dimensions.

UniformNdMapping objects can be sliced, sampled, reduced, overlaid and split along its and its containing Element’s dimensions. Subclasses should implement the appropriate slicing, sampling and reduction methods for their Dimensioned type.

Parameter Definitions

Parameters inherited from:

clone(data=None, shared_data=True, new_type=None, link=True, *args, **overrides)[source]#
