Why bokeh Label option render_mode='css' works on a systems but returns an error on a second one?

I have the following piece of code to add a text box to my plot:

citation = bokeh.models.Label(x=xPosition, y=yPosition, x_units='screen', y_units='screen',
                 text=textstr, 
                 render_mode='css',
                 border_line_color='wheat', border_line_alpha=0,
                 background_fill_color='wheat', background_fill_alpha=0)

p.add_layout(citation)

The above piece of code runs flawlessly in one laptop while on a second one I get the following error.

Could anybody, please, help me in trying to solve the problem?

Note: If I comment out the render_mode='css', line the code works fine in the second system but border lines are not displayed.

Both systems are running windows 10 and bokeh is upgraded to the last available version.

Thanks.
Paolo.

Solution

  • The solution in bokeh 3.x is to remove the render_mode and set the alpha value to a number different from 0 (this is invisible).

    from bokeh.models import Label
from bokeh.plotting import figure, show, output_notebook
output_notebook()

p = figure(width=300, height=250)
p.line([1,2,3],[0,1,2])
citation = Label(
    x=1, y=1, x_units='screen', y_units='screen',
    text='Text',
    border_line_color='wheat',
    background_fill_color='wheat'
)
p.add_layout(citation)
show(p)
