Exporting figures from Bokeh as svg or pdf?
There is no way to save PDF currently, but as of Bokeh 0.12.6, it is now possible to export PNG and SVG directly fromPython code.
Exporting PNGs looks like this
export_png(plot, filename="plot.png")And exporting SVGs looks like this
plot.output_backend = "svg"export_svgs(plot, filename="plot.svg")There are some optional dependencies that need to be installed.You can find more information in the Exporting Plots section of the User Guide.
In the meantime... as a workaround, until we get a native support, you can use phantom.js to convert the HTML output into a pdf file. We use it in our example testing directory to convert HTML generated plots into png images, but you could also get pdf images:
