The figure object has many methods using which vectorised glyphs of different shapes such as circle, rectangle, polygon, etc. can, be drawn.

Following methods are available for drawing circle glyphs −

circle()

The circle() method adds a circle glyph to the figure and needs x and y coordinates of its center. Additionally, it can be configured with the help of parameters such as fill_color, line-color, line_width etc.

circle_cross()

The circle_cross() method adds circle glyph with a ‘+’ cross through the center.

circle_x()

The circle_x() method adds circle with an ‘X’ cross through the center.

Example

Following example shows use of various circle glyphs added to Bokeh figure −

from bokeh.plotting import figure, output_file, show
plot = figure(plot_width = 300, plot_height = 300)
plot.circle(x = [1, 2, 3], y = [3,7,5], size = 20, fill_color = ''red'')
plot.circle_cross(x = [2,4,6], y = [5,8,9], size = 20, fill_color = ''blue'',fill_alpha = 0.2, line_width = 2)
plot.circle_x(x = [5,7,2], y = [2,4,9], size = 20, fill_color = ''green'',fill_alpha = 0.6, line_width = 2)
show(plot)
