How can I specify that I want text (say an axis title) to be both bold and italic in bokeh?
This is bold: text_font_style = 'bold'
This is italic: text_font_style = 'italic'
How do I do both simultaneously? I assume this is possible because of this response on the issue tracker
Some things I have tried without success include:
text_font_style = 'bolditalic'
text_font_style = 'bold+italic'
text_font_style = ('bold', 'italic')
text_font_style = set('bold', 'italic')
# together (in a last ditch effort):
text_font_style = 'bold'
text_font_style = 'italic'
As of Bokeh 0.13 this does not appear to be possible. The FontStyle
enum is currently defined as:
FontStyle = enumeration("normal", "italic", "bold")
Which means that a Bokeh text_font_style
property will only accept any one on those, i.e. you can only have bold or italic, but not both. I would describe this as a simple oversight that no one has noticed until now. I think fixing this would be as simple as adding new values for the combinations, e.g. "italic bold"
, to the enum value (and fixing up some some related tests), so I would encourage you to submit a new feature request issue on GitHub.
