"AttributeError: unexpected attribute 'plot_width' to figure, similar attributes are outer_width, width or min_width " with pandas_bokeh

Question

I am trying to use pandas_bokeh to create a line graph with a pandas dataframe I call bucketed_df

import pandas_bokeh
pandas_bokeh.output_notebook()

bucketed_df.plot_bokeh(kind='line')

for some reason I get the error

AttributeError: unexpected attribute 'plot_width' to figure, similar attributes are outer_width, width or min_width

Im not sure what this is or how toi fix it. I am using python 3.9 and jupyter notebooks

I have a matplotlib linegraph in a cell above it. I am thinking there could be some issue with that.

Also if anyone knows any interactive graphs that are better I am open to switching to a different library.

Are you able to share a sample of bucketed_df? (populated with fake data is fine as long as the types and examples are similar) – Assessment

Its index is a datetime object and theres one column called id, which just contains integers. – Sorci

Answer 1

I'm getting a similar error on a recent install of bokeh==3.0.1.

The error goes away if I install version 2.4.3 (last release) with pip install --upgrade bokeh==2.4.3

It seems there was a breaking change in 3.0.0 that hasn't been addressed yet. If you have time, post this issue at https://github.com/bokeh/bokeh/issues.

For those who come here with the bokeh error in their own code (I did - and this question was the first result in the search): In the 3.0.0 bokeh release, the plot_width attribute of a figure was replaced with width. Similarly, plot_height was replaced with height. Even in the last 2.x.x release docs, they are described as "compatibility aliases" for width and height. – Gelatinize

Answer 2

can be done like

p=figure(min_width=500, height=500)

or simply,

p=figure(width=500, height=500)

this may help.

Answer 3

temp way:

File ".../lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas_bokeh/plot.py", line 439, in plot

Add

figure_options['width'] = figure_options['plot_width']
figure_options['height'] = figure_options['plot_height']
del figure_options['plot_width']
del figure_options['plot_height']

While that may work, I wonder if there is a solution that doesn't require removing features in the bokeh library – Cauterant

Answer 4

The error has been reported in the GitHub of pandas_bokeh : https://github.com/PatrikHlobil/Pandas-Bokeh/issues/128 But unfortunately, no solution has been found yet, except for someone using the latest commit of the github... For what it's worth.

Answer 5

this temp way works but you must change file ".../lib/python3.10/site-packages/pandas_bokeh/geoplot.py" not plot.py
