Bokeh Bar plot |

Question

I am trying to Create a bokeh bar chart using Python. The data2 is the values

from bokeh.plotting import figure, output_file, show,hplot
from bokeh.charts import Bar

data2=[65.75, 48.400000000000006, 58.183333333333337, 14.516666666666666]


bar = Bar(values=data2,xlabel="beef,pork,fowl,fish",ylabel="Avg consumtion", width=400)

show(bar)

Error

TypeError: Bar() takes at least 1 argument (1 given)

What am I doing wrong Here?

Answer 1

The bokeh.charts API (including Bar) was deprecated and removed from Bokeh in 2017. It is unmaintained and unsupported and should not be used for any reason at this point. A simple bar chart can be accomplished using the well-supported bokeh.plotting API:

from bokeh.plotting import figure, show

categories = ["beef", "pork", "fowl", "fish"]
data = [65.75, 48.4, 58.183, 14.517]

p = figure(x_range=categories)
p.vbar(x=categories, top=data, width=0.9)

show(p)
