viewable Module#

Defines the baseclasses that make a component render to a bokeh model and become viewable including:

  • Layoutable: Defines parameters concerned with layout and style

  • ServableMixin: Mixin class that defines methods to serve object on server

  • Renderable: Defines methods to render a component as a bokeh model

  • Viewable: Defines methods to view the component in the notebook, on the server or in static exports

class panel.viewable.Layoutable(*, align, aspect_ratio, css_classes, design, height, height_policy, margin, max_height, max_width, min_height, min_width, sizing_mode, styles, stylesheets, tags, visible, width, width_policy, name)[source]#

Bases: Parameterized

Layoutable defines shared style and layout related parameters for all Panel components with a visual representation.

align = param.Align(allow_refs=True, default=’start’, label=’Align’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302ba2b10>)

Whether the object should be aligned with the start, end or center of its container. If set as a tuple it will declare (vertical, horizontal) alignment.

aspect_ratio = param.Aspect(allow_None=True, allow_refs=True, label=’Aspect ratio’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302ba2d50>)

Describes the proportional relationship between component’s width and height. This works if any of component’s dimensions are flexible in size. If set to a number, width / height =         aspect_ratio relationship will be maintained. Otherwise, if set to "auto", component’s preferred width and height will be used to determine the aspect (if not set, no aspect will be preserved).

css_classes = param.List(allow_refs=True, bounds=(0, None), default=[], label=’Css classes’, nested_refs=True, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302943350>)

CSS classes to apply to the layout.

design = param.ObjectSelector(allow_refs=True, label=’Design’, names={}, nested_refs=False, objects=[None], rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x3026f2a50>)

The design system to use to style components.

height = param.Integer(allow_None=True, allow_refs=True, bounds=(0, None), inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Height’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x3029432d0>)

The height of the component (in pixels). This can be either fixed or preferred height, depending on height sizing policy.

min_width = param.Integer(allow_None=True, allow_refs=True, bounds=(0, None), inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Min width’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x3029430d0>)

Minimal width of the component (in pixels) if width is adjustable.

min_height = param.Integer(allow_None=True, allow_refs=True, bounds=(0, None), inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Min height’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x3029436d0>)

Minimal height of the component (in pixels) if height is adjustable.

max_width = param.Integer(allow_None=True, allow_refs=True, bounds=(0, None), inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Max width’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302941610>)

Minimal width of the component (in pixels) if width is adjustable.

max_height = param.Integer(allow_None=True, allow_refs=True, bounds=(0, None), inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Max height’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302940e10>)

Dictionary of CSS rules to apply to DOM node wrapping the component.

stylesheets = param.List(allow_refs=True, bounds=(0, None), default=[], label=’Stylesheets’, nested_refs=True, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302ba2d50>)

List of stylesheets defined as URLs pointing to .css files or raw CSS defined as a string.

tags = param.List(allow_refs=True, bounds=(0, None), default=[], label=’Tags’, nested_refs=True, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302b87e90>)

List of arbitrary tags to add to the component. Can be useful for templating or for storing metadata on the model.

width = param.Integer(allow_None=True, allow_refs=True, bounds=(0, None), inclusive_bounds=(True, True), label=’Width’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302943690>)

The width of the component (in pixels). This can be either fixed or preferred width, depending on width sizing policy.

width_policy = param.ObjectSelector(allow_refs=True, default=’auto’, label=’Width policy’, names={}, nested_refs=False, objects=[‘auto’, ‘fixed’, ‘fit’, ‘min’, ‘max’], rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302943790>)

Describes how the component should maintain its width. "auto" Use component’s preferred sizing policy. "fixed" Use exactly width pixels. Component will overflow if it can’t fit in the available horizontal space. "fit" Use component’s preferred width (if set) and allow it to fit into the available horizontal space within the minimum and maximum width bounds (if set). Component’s width neither will be aggressively minimized nor maximized. "min" Use as little horizontal space as possible, not less than the minimum width (if set). The starting point is the preferred width (if set). The width of the component may shrink or grow depending on the parent layout, aspect management and other factors. "max" Use as much horizontal space as possible, not more than the maximum width (if set). The starting point is the preferred width (if set). The width of the component may shrink or grow depending on the parent layout, aspect management and other factors.

height_policy = param.ObjectSelector(allow_refs=True, default=’auto’, label=’Height policy’, names={}, nested_refs=False, objects=[‘auto’, ‘fixed’, ‘fit’, ‘min’, ‘max’], rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302ba3a10>)

Describes how the component should maintain its height. "auto" Use component’s preferred sizing policy. "fixed" Use exactly height pixels. Component will overflow if it can’t fit in the available vertical space. "fit" Use component’s preferred height (if set) and allow to fit into the available vertical space within the minimum and maximum height bounds (if set). Component’s height neither will be aggressively minimized nor maximized. "min" Use as little vertical space as possible, not less than the minimum height (if set). The starting point is the preferred height (if set). The height of the component may shrink or grow depending on the parent layout, aspect management and other factors. "max" Use as much vertical space as possible, not more than the maximum height (if set). The starting point is the preferred height (if set). The height of the component may shrink or grow depending on the parent layout, aspect management and other factors.

sizing_mode = param.ObjectSelector(allow_refs=True, label=’Sizing mode’, names={}, nested_refs=False, objects=[‘fixed’, ‘stretch_width’, ‘stretch_height’, ‘stretch_both’, ‘scale_width’, ‘scale_height’, ‘scale_both’, None], rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302943550>)

How the component should size itself. This is a high-level setting for maintaining width and height of the component. To gain more fine grained control over sizing, use width_policy, height_policy and aspect_ratio instead (those take precedence over sizing_mode). "fixed" Component is not responsive. It will retain its original width and height regardless of any subsequent browser window resize events. "stretch_width" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available width, without maintaining any aspect ratio. The height of the component depends on the type of the component and may be fixed or fit to component’s contents. "stretch_height" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available height, without maintaining any aspect ratio. The width of the component depends on the type of the component and may be fixed or fit to component’s contents. "stretch_both" Component is completely responsive, independently in width and height, and will occupy all the available horizontal and vertical space, even if this changes the aspect ratio of the component. "scale_width" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available width, while maintaining the original or provided aspect ratio. "scale_height" Component will responsively resize to stretch to the available height, while maintaining the original or provided aspect ratio. "scale_both" Component will responsively resize to both the available width and height, while maintaining the original or provided aspect ratio.

visible = param.Boolean(allow_refs=True, default=True, label=’Visible’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302ba5a90>)

Whether the component is visible. Setting visible to false will hide the component entirely.

Bases: Renderable, Layoutable, ServableMixin

Viewable is the baseclass all visual components in the panel library are built on. It defines the interface for declaring any object that displays itself by transforming the object(s) being wrapped into models that can be served using bokeh’s layout engine. The class also defines various methods that allow Viewable objects to be displayed in the notebook and on bokeh server.

Parameters inherited from:

panel.viewable.Layoutable: align, aspect_ratio, css_classes, design, height, min_width, min_height, max_width, max_height, margin, styles, stylesheets, tags, width, width_policy, height_policy, sizing_mode, visible

loading = param.Boolean(allow_refs=True, default=False, label=’Loading’, nested_refs=False, rx=<param.reactive.reactive_ops object at 0x302906650>)

Whether or not the Viewable is loading. If True a loading spinner is shown on top of the Viewable.
