Generic options

autorange (default=None): Literal['x', 'y'] | None Whether to enable auto-ranging along the x- or y-axis when zooming. Requires HoloViews >= 1.16. clim: tuple Lower and upper bound of the color scale cnorm (default='linear'): str Color scaling which must be one of 'linear', 'log' or 'eq_hist' colorbar (default=False): boolean Enables a colorbar fontscale: number Scales the size of all fonts by the same amount, e.g. fontscale=1.5 enlarges all fonts (title, xticks, labels etc.) by 50% fontsize: number or dict Set title, label and legend text to the same fontsize. Finer control by using a dict: {'title': '15pt', 'ylabel': '5px', 'ticks': 20} flip_xaxis/flip_yaxis: boolean Whether to flip the axis left to right or up and down respectively grid (default=False): boolean Whether to show a grid hover : boolean Whether to show hover tooltips, default is True unless datashade is True in which case hover is False by default hover_cols (default=[]): list or str Additional columns to add to the hover tool or 'all' which will includes all columns (including indexes if use_index is True). invert (default=False): boolean Swaps x- and y-axis frame_width/frame_height: int The width and height of the data area of the plot legend (default=True): boolean or str Whether to show a legend, or a legend position ('top', 'bottom', 'left', 'right') logx/logy (default=False): boolean Enables logarithmic x- and y-axis respectively logz (default=False): boolean Enables logarithmic colormapping loglog (default=False): boolean Enables logarithmic x- and y-axis max_width/max_height: int The maximum width and height of the plot for responsive modes min_width/min_height: int The minimum width and height of the plot for responsive modes padding: number or tuple Fraction by which to increase auto-ranged extents to make datapoints more visible around borders. Supports tuples to specify different amount of padding for x- and y-axis and tuples of tuples to specify different amounts of padding for upper and lower bounds. rescale_discrete_levels (default=True): boolean If cnorm='eq_hist' and there are only a few discrete values, then rescale_discrete_levels=True (the default) decreases the lower limit of the autoranged span so that the values are rendering towards the (more visible) top of the cmap range, thus avoiding washout of the lower values. Has no effect if cnorm!=eq_hist`. responsive: boolean Whether the plot should responsively resize depending on the size of the browser. Responsive mode will only work if at least one dimension of the plot is left undefined, e.g. when width and height or width and aspect are set the plot is set to a fixed size, ignoring any responsive option. rot: number Rotates the axis ticks along the x-axis by the specified number of degrees. shared_axes (default=True): boolean Whether to link axes between plots transforms (default={}): dict A dictionary of HoloViews dim transforms to apply before plotting title (default=''): str Title for the plot tools (default=[]): list List of tool instances or strings (e.g. ['tap', 'box_select']) xaxis/yaxis: str or None Whether to show the x/y-axis and whether to place it at the 'top'/'bottom' and 'left'/'right' respectively. xformatter/yformatter (default=None): str or TickFormatter Formatter for the x-axis and y-axis (accepts printf formatter, e.g. '%.3f', and bokeh TickFormatter) xlabel/ylabel/clabel (default=None): str Axis labels for the x-axis, y-axis, and colorbar xlim/ylim (default=None): tuple or list Plot limits of the x- and y-axis xticks/yticks (default=None): int or list Ticks along x- and y-axis specified as an integer, list of ticks positions, or list of tuples of the tick positions and labels width (default=700)/height (default=300): int The width and height of the plot in pixels attr_labels (default=None): bool Whether to use an xarray object's attributes as labels, defaults to None to allow best effort without throwing a warning. Set to True to see warning if the attrs can't be found, set to False to disable the behavior. sort_date (default=True): bool Whether to sort the x-axis by date before plotting symmetric (default=None): bool Whether the data are symmetric around zero. If left unset, the data will be checked for symmetry as long as the size is less than check_symmetric_max. check_symmetric_max (default=1000000): Size above which to stop checking for symmetry by default on the data.

Resampling options

aggregator (default=None): Aggregator to use when applying rasterize or datashade operation (valid options include 'mean', 'count', 'min', 'max' and more, and datashader reduction objects) dynamic (default=True): Whether to return a dynamic plot which sends updates on widget and zoom/pan events or whether all the data should be embedded (warning: for large groupby operations embedded data can become very large if dynamic=False) datashade (default=False): Whether to apply rasterization and shading (colormapping) using the Datashader library, returning an RGB object instead of individual points downsample (default=False): Whether to apply LTTB (Largest Triangle Three Buckets) downsampling to the element (note this is only well behaved for timeseries data). Requires HoloViews >= 1.16. dynspread (default=False): For plots generated with datashade=True or rasterize=True, automatically increase the point size when the data is sparse so that individual points become more visible rasterize (default=False): Whether to apply rasterization using the Datashader library, returning an aggregated Image (to be colormapped by the plotting backend) instead of individual points resample_when (default=None): Applies a resampling operation (datashade, rasterize or downsample) if the number of individual data points present in the current zoom range is above this threshold. The raw plot is displayed otherwise. x_sampling/y_sampling (default=None): Specifies the smallest allowed sampling interval along the x/y axis.

Geographic options

coastline (default=False): Whether to display a coastline on top of the plot, setting coastline='10m'/'50m'/'110m' specifies a specific scale. crs (default=None): Coordinate reference system of the data specified as Cartopy CRS object, proj.4 string or EPSG code. features (default=None): dict or list A list of features or a dictionary of features and the scale at which to render it. Available features include 'borders', 'coastline', 'lakes', 'land', 'ocean', 'rivers' and 'states'. Available scales include '10m'/'50m'/'110m'. geo (default=False): Whether the plot should be treated as geographic (and assume PlateCarree, i.e. lat/lon coordinates). global_extent (default=False): Whether to expand the plot extent to span the whole globe. project (default=False): Whether to project the data before plotting (adds initial overhead but avoids projecting data when plot is dynamically updated). projection (default=None): str or Cartopy CRS Coordinate reference system of the plot specified as Cartopy CRS object or class name. tiles (default=False): Whether to overlay the plot on a tile source. Tiles sources can be selected by name or a tiles object or class can be passed, the default is 'Wikipedia'.
