Creating line plots

We can plot a simple line plot in Bokeh using the following code: 

#Importing the required packages

from bokeh.io import output_file, show

from bokeh.plotting import figure

#Creating our data arrays used for plotting the line plot

x = [5,6,7,8,9,10]

y = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

#Calling the figure() function to create the figure of the plot

plot = figure()

#Creating a line plot using the line() function

plot.line(x,y)

#Creating markers on our line plot at the location of the intersection between x and y

plot.cross(x,y, size = 15)

#Output the plot 

output_file('line_plot.html')

show(plot)

This results in a plot illustrated as follows:

In the preceding code, we first called the figure() function as a way to instruct Bokeh to construct a diagram. Once we've done this, we can then add layers of glyphs or geometric shapes to our diagram. 

We first added the line() glyph to the figure in order to construct the line plot and then added the cross() glyph on top of the line to mark intersections between the x and y points.
