Exporting figures from Bokeh as svg or pdf?

Is it possible to output individual figures from Bokeh as pdf or svg images? I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I've checked the online help pages and gone through the bokeh.objects api and haven't found anything...

Solution

  • There is no way to save PDF currently, but as of Bokeh 0.12.6, it is now possible to export PNG and SVG directly from Python code.

    Exporting PNGs looks like this

    export_png(plot, filename="plot.png")

    And exporting SVGs looks like this

    plot.output_backend = "svg"
export_svgs(plot, filename="plot.svg")

    There are some optional dependencies that need to be installed. You can find more information in the Exporting Plots section of the User Guide.
