Question
Below code is grouped vbar chart example from bokeh documentation. There are something i can't understand on this example.
Where 'cyl_mfr' is come from in factor_cmap() and vbar()?
'mpg_mean' , is it calculating the mean of 'mpg' column? if then, why 'mpg_sum' doesn't work?
I want to make my own vbar chart like this example.
Code
from bokeh.io import show, output_file
from bokeh.models import ColumnDataSource, HoverTool
from bokeh.plotting import figure
from bokeh.palettes import Spectral5
from bokeh.sampledata.autompg import autompg_clean as df
from bokeh.transform import factor_cmap
output_file("bars.html")
df.cyl = df.cyl.astype(str)
df.yr = df.yr.astype(str)
group = df.groupby(('cyl', 'mfr'))
source = ColumnDataSource(group)
index_cmap = factor_cmap('cyl_mfr', palette=Spectral5,
factors=sorted(df.cyl.unique()), end=1)
p = figure(plot_width=800, plot_height=300, title="Mean MPG by # Cylinders
and Manufacturer",
x_range=group, toolbar_location=None, tools="")
p.vbar(x='cyl_mfr', top='mpg_mean', width=1, source=source,
line_color="white", fill_color=index_cmap, )
p.y_range.start = 0
p.x_range.range_padding = 0.05
p.xgrid.grid_line_color = None
p.xaxis.axis_label = "Manufacturer grouped by # Cylinders"
p.xaxis.major_label_orientation = 1.2
p.outline_line_color = None
p.add_tools(HoverTool(tooltips=[("MPG", "@mpg_mean"), ("Cyl, Mfr",
"@cyl_mfr")]))
show(p)
