Summary

This chapter has given you an introduction to what glyphs are and how you can use them to create fundamental plots using Bokeh. We also looked at how to customize these plots further.

Glyphs are the fundamental building blocks of Bokeh and are required in order to create more complex, and statistically significant, plots in the future.

In this chapter, you learned how to create four different plots using glyphs. Line plots are commonly used in time series analytics, bar plots are commonly used to compare counts between different categories, patch plots are commonly used to highlight an area of points, and scatter plots, are commonly used to map a relationship between two or more variables.

In the upcoming chapter, we will take these concepts and use them to plot diagrams using NumPy arrays and Pandas DataFrames.
