# How can a Beizer curve be visualized using Bokeh?

Machine LearningServer Side ProgrammingProgramming

Bokeh is a Python package that helps in data visualization. It is an open source project. Bokeh renders its plot using HTML and JavaScript. This indicates that it is useful while working with web-based dashboards.

Bokeh can be easily used in conjunction with NumPy, Pandas, and other Python packages. It can be used to produce interactive plots, dashboards, and so on.

Matplotlib and Seaborn produce static plots, whereas Bokeh produces interactive plots. This means when the user interacts with these plots, they change accordingly.

Plots can be embedded as output of Flask or Django enabled web applications. Jupyter notebook can also be used to render these plots.

Installation of Bokeh on Windows command prompt

pip3 install bokeh


Installation of Bokeh on Anaconda prompt

conda install bokeh

The ‘bezier’ function adds a Bezier curve to the ‘figure’. It is used in computer graphics, animations, user interface design and so on. They can be used to model smooth curves that can be scaled.

## Example

import bokeh.plotting
x = 2
y = 4
xp02 = x+0.5
xp01 = x+0.2
xm01 = x−0.2
yp01 = y+0.1
ym01 = y−0.25
fig = figure(plot_width = 400, plot_height = 300)
fig.bezier(x0 = x, y0 = y, x1 = xp02, y1 = y, cx0 = xp01, cy0 = yp01,
cx1 = xm01, cy1 = ym01, line_color = "blue", line_width = 2)
show(fig)

## Explanation

• The required packages are imported, and aliased.

• The figure function is called along with plot width and height.

• The data is generated

• The ‘output_file’ function is called to mention the name of the html file that will be generated.

• The ‘bezier’ function present in Bokeh is called, along with data.

• The ‘show’ function is used to display the plot.
