Version 1.14.0

December 1, 2020

This release brings a number of major features including a new IbisInterface, new Plotly Dash support and greatly improved Plotly support, and greatly improved interaction and integration with Datashader. Many thanks to the many contributors to this release, whether directly by submitting PRs or by reporting issues and making suggestions. Specifically, we would like to thank @philippjfr, @jonmmease, and @tonyfast for their work on the IbisInterface and @jonmmease for improving Plotly support, as well as @kcpevey, @Hoxbro, @marckassay, @mcepl, and @ceball for various other enhancements, improvements to documentation and testing infrastructure. In addition, thanks to the maintainers @jbednar, @jlstevens and @philippjfr for contributing to this release. This version includes a large number of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.

It is important to note that version 1.14 will be the last HoloViews release supporting Python 2.

Major features:

  • New Plotly Dash support (#4605)
  • New Plotly support for Tiles element (#4686)
  • New IbisInterface (#4517)
  • Greatly improved Datashader rasterize() (#4567). Previously, many of the features of Datashader were available only through datashade, which rendered data all the way to RGB pixels and thus prevented many client-side Bokeh features like hover, colorbars, dynamic colormaps, etc. rasterize now supports all these Bokeh features along with nearly all the Datashader features previously only available through datashade, including (now client-side) histogram equalization with cnorm='eq_hist' and easy control of transparency via a new Dimension.nodata parameter. See the Large Data User Guide for more information.

Enhancements:

  • Implemented datashader aggregation of Rectangles (#4701)
  • New support for robust color limits (clim_percentile) (#4712)
  • Support for dynamic overlays in link_selections (#4683)
  • Allow clashing Param stream contents (#4677)
  • Ensured pandas does not convert times to UTC (#4711)
  • Removed all use of cyordereddict (#4620)
  • Testing infrastructure moved to GH Actions (#4592)

Bug fixes:

  • Ensure RangeXY returns x/y ranges in correct order (#4665) (#4665)
  • Fix datashader instability with Plotly by disabling padding for RGB elements (#4705)
  • Various Dask and cuDF histogram fixes (#4691)
  • Fix handling of custom matplotlib and bokeh colormaps (#4693)
  • Fix cuDF values implementation (#4687)
  • Fixed range calculation on HexTiles (#4689)
  • Use PIL for RGB.load_image (#4639)

Documentation:

  • Clarified data types accepted by Points (#4430)
  • Updated Introduction notebook (#4682)
  • Fixed releases urls (#4672)

Compatibility:

  • Warning when there are multiple kdims on Chart elements (#4710)
  • Set histogram normed option to False by default (#4258)
  • The default colormap in holoviews is now 'kbc_r' instead of 'fire'; see issue #3500 for details. This change was made mainly because the highest value of the fire colormap is white, which meant data was often not visible against a white background. To restore the old behavior you can set hv.config.default_cmap='fire', which you can do via the extension e.g. hv.extension('bokeh', config=dict(default_cmap='fire')). There is also hv.config.default_gridded_cmap which you can set to 'fire' if you wish to use the old colormap for the Raster, Image and QuadMesh element types. The default HeatMap colormap has also been set to 'kbc_r' for consistency and can be set back to the old value of 'RdYlBu_r' via hv.config.default_heatmap_cmap.

Version 1.11.0

December 24, 2018

This is a major release containing a large number of features and API improvements.

hv.config.future_deprecations = True

The largest updates to the API relate to the options system which is now more consistent, has better validation and better supports notebook users without requiring IPython magics. The new dim transform generalizes the mapping from data dimensions to visual dimensions, greatly increasing the expressive power of the options system. Please consult the updated user guides for more information.

Version 1.4.0

December 4, 2015

Over the past few months we have added several major new features and with the help of our users have been able to address a number of bugs and inconsistencies. We have closed 57 issues and added over 1100 new commits.

Major new features:

  • Data API: The new data API brings an extensible system of to add new data interfaces to column based Element types. These interfaces allow applying powerful operations on the data independently of the data format. The currently supported datatypes include NumPy, pandas dataframes and a simple dictionary format. (PR #284)
  • Backend API: In this release we completely refactored the rendering, plotting and IPython display system to make it easy to add new plotting backends. Data may be styled and pickled for each backend independently and renderers now support exporting all plotting data including widgets as standalone HTML files or with separate JSON data.
  • Bokeh backend: The first new plotting backend added via the new backend API. Bokeh plots allow for much faster plotting and greater interactivity. Supports most Element types and layouts and provides facilities for sharing axes across plots and linked brushing across plots. (PR #250)
  • DynamicMap: The new DynamicMap class allows HoloMap data to be generated on-the-fly while running a Jupyter IPython notebook kernel. Allows visualization of unbounded data streams and smooth exploration of large continuous parameter spaces. (PR #278)

Other features:

  • Easy definition of custom aliases for group, label and Dimension names, allowing easier use of LaTeX.
  • New Trisurface and QuadMesh elements.
  • Widgets now allow expressing hierarchical relationships between dimensions.
  • Added GridMatrix container for heterogeneous Elements and gridmatrix operation to generate scatter matrix showing relationship between dimensions.
  • Filled contour regions can now be generated using the contours operation.
  • Consistent indexing semantics for all Elements and support for boolean indexing for Columns and NdMapping types.
  • New hv.notebook_extension function offers a more flexible alternative to %load_ext, e.g. for loading other extensions hv.notebook_extension(bokeh=True).

Experimental features:

  • Bokeh callbacks allow adding interactivity by communicating between BokehJS tools and the IPython kernel, e.g. allowing downsampling based on the zoom level.

Notable bug fixes:

  • Major speedup rendering large HoloMaps (~ 2-3 times faster).
  • Colorbars now consistent for all plot configurations.
  • Style pickling now works correctly.

API Changes:

  • Dimension formatter parameter now deprecated in favor of value_format.
  • Types of Chart and Table Element data now dependent on selected interface.
  • DFrame conversion interface deprecated in favor of Columns pandas interface.

We'd again like to thank our growing user base for all their input, which has helped us in making the API more understandable and fixing a number of important bugs.

Highlights/Features:

  • Allowed display of data structures which do not match the recommended nesting hierarchy (67b28f3, fbd89c3).

  • Widgets now cache frames in the DOM, avoiding flickering in some browsers and make use of jinja2 template inheritance. (fc7dd2b)
  • Calling a HoloViews object without arguments now clears any associated custom styles. (9e8c343)

API Changes

  • Renamed key_dimensions and value_dimensions to kdims and vdims respectively, while providing backward compatibility for passing and accessing the long names (8feb7d2).
  • Combined x/y/zticker plot options into x/y/zticks parameters which now accept an explicit number of ticks, an explicit list of tick positions (and labels), and a Matplotlib tick locator.
  • Changed backend options in %output magic, nbagg and d3 are now modes of the Matplotlib backend and can be selected with backend='matplotlib:nbagg' and backend='matplotlib:mpld3' respectively. The 'd3' and 'nbagg' options remain supported but will be deprecated in future.
  • Customizations should no longer be applied directly to Store.options; the Store.options(backend='matplotlib') object should be customized instead. There is no longer a need to call the deprecated Store.register_plots method.
