bqplot.marks.Mark

class bqplot.marks.Mark(**kwargs)[source]

The base mark class.

Traitlet mark attributes may be decorated with metadata.

Data Attribute Decoration

Data attributes are decorated with the following values:

scaled: bool
Indicates whether the considered attribute is a data attribute which must be associated with a scale in order to be taken into account.
rtype: string
Range type of the associated scale.
atype: string
Key in bqplot’s axis registry of the recommended axis type to represent this scale. When not specified, the default is ‘bqplot.Axis’.
display_name

Holds a user-friendly name for the trait attribute.

Type:string
mark_types

A registry of existing mark types.

Type:dict (class-level attribute)
scales

A dictionary of scales holding scales for each data attribute. - If a mark holds a scaled attribute named ‘x’, the scales dictionary must have a corresponding scale for the key ‘x’. - The scale’s range type should be equal to the scaled attribute’s range type (rtype).

Type:Dict of scales (default: {})
scales_metadata

A dictionary of dictionaries holding metadata on the way scales are used by the mark. For example, a linear scale may be used to count pixels horizontally or vertically. The content of this dictionary may change dynamically. It is an instance-level attribute.

Type:Dict (default: {})
preserve_domain

Indicates if this mark affects the domain(s) of the specified scale(s). The keys of this dictionary are the same as the ones of the “scales” attribute, and values are boolean. If a key is missing, it is considered as False.

Type:dict (default: {})
display_legend

Display toggle for the mark legend in the general figure legend

Type:bool (default: False)
labels

Labels of the items of the mark. This attribute has different meanings depending on the type of mark.

Type:list of unicode strings (default: [])
apply_clip

Indicates whether the items that are beyond the limits of the chart should be clipped.

Type:bool (default: True)
visible

Visibility toggle for the mark.

Type:bool (default: True)
selected_style

CSS style to be applied to selected items in the mark.

Type:dict (default: {})
unselected_style

CSS style to be applied to items that are not selected in the mark, when a selection exists.

Type:dict (default: {})
selected

Indices of the selected items in the mark.

Type:list of integers or None (default: None)
tooltip

Widget to be displayed as tooltip when elements of the scatter are hovered on

Type:DOMWidget or None (default: None)
tooltip_style

Styles to be applied to the tooltip widget

Type:Dictionary (default: {‘opacity’: 0.9})
enable_hover

Boolean attribute to control the hover interaction for the scatter. If this is false, the on_hover custom mssg is not sent back to the python side

Type:Bool (default: True)
interactions

Dictionary listing the different interactions for each mark. The key is the event which triggers the interaction and the value is the kind of interactions. Keys and values can only take strings from separate enums for each mark.

Type:Dictionary (default: {‘hover’: ‘tooltip’})
tooltip_location

Enum specifying the location of the tooltip. ‘mouse’ places the tooltip at the location of the mouse when the tooltip is activated and ‘center’ places the tooltip at the center of the figure. If tooltip is linked to a click event, ‘mouse’ places the tooltip at the location of the click that triggered the tooltip to be visible.

Type:{‘mouse’, ‘center’} (default: ‘mouse’)
