# User Guide

This user guide is intended to walk you through many common tasks that you might want to accomplish using Bokeh. The guide is arranged by topic:

Quickstart
  Get set up and running quickly.
Getting Set Up
  Install Bokeh and verify your installation is working correctly.
Defining Key Concepts
  Learn important foundational concepts about how Bokeh is organized.
Plotting with Basic Glyphs
  Make different kinds of plots using the simple but flexible glyph methods from the bokeh.plotting interface.
Providing Data for Plots and Tables
  Provide data or subsets of data for plots and tables and share data between plots.
Laying out Plots and Widgets
  Combine multiple plots and widgets into specified layouts.
Handling Categorical Data
  Handle categorical data with a variety of different techniques such as bar charts, categorical heatmaps, visual dodging, and jitter.
Visualizing Network Graphs
  Create network graph visualizations with configurable node and edge interactions.
Mapping Geo Data
  Working with geographical data—Google Maps, GeoJSON, Tile Rendering.
Configuring Plot Tools
  Make interactive tools (like pan, zoom, select, and others) available on your plots.
Styling Visual Attributes
  Customize every visual aspect of Bokeh plots—axes, grids, labels, glyphs, and more.
Adding Annotations
  Add informational annotations, such as labels, arrows, and legends to plots.
Adding Interactions
  Create more sophisticated interactions including widgets or linked panning and selection.
Running a Bokeh Server
  Deploy the Bokeh Server to build and publish sophisticated data applications.
Working in the Notebook
  Display interactive plots inside Jupyter notebooks.
Exporting Plots
  Learn how to export Bokeh layouts as PNGs and SVGs.
Embedding Plots and Apps
  Embed static or server-based Bokeh plots and widgets into HTML documents in a variety of ways.
Using bokeh Commands
  Use Bokeh’s capabilites from the command line with the `bokeh` command.
Extending Bokeh
  Add new capability to Bokeh with custom user extensions.
Leveraging Other Libraries
  Use Bokeh together with libraries such as Datashader and HoloViews.
Speeding up with WebGL
  Improve performance for large datasets by using WebGL.
Developing with JavaScript
  Create plots in JavaScript by using BokehJS directly.
Tutorials
  Read tutorials on specific topics for using Bokeh.
Learning More

The examples in the user guide are written to be as minimal as possible, while illustrating how to accomplish a single task within Bokeh. With a handful of exceptions, no outside libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, or Blaze are required to run the examples as written. However, Bokeh works well with NumPy, Pandas, Blaze, or almost any array or table-like data structure.
