Bokeh (https://bokeh.org/) Python plotting library has two main modes for serving static content: CDN and inline.
-
'cdn' (=content distribution network) mode needs internet connection every time you open the notebook
-
'inline' mode increases the size of ipynb files by 6Mb
bokeh-resources
is a jupyter extension that makes jupyter serve bokeh files locally.
It keeps the size of ipynb files small and works offline as well.
pip install bokeh-resources
python -m bokeh-resources.install
Or alternatively
git clone https://github.com/axil/bokeh-resources
cd bokeh_resources
python install.py
This will install the extension to jupyter and to create the symlink (see 'Updating' below)
After this the package itself can be safely uninstalled (pip uninstall bokeh-resources
).
To uninstall the extension run
jupyter nbextensions uninstall bokeh_resources
In bokehlab:
%bokehlab local
In bokeh:
from bokeh.io import output_notebook
from bokeh.resources import Resources
output_notebook(Resources('server', root_url='/nbextensions/bokeh_resources'))
Serving is performed through a symbolic link (or a directory junction on Windows).
This means that it is resilient to bokeh updates.
(= the extension does not need to be updated when bokeh
is updated to the next version).
