Can I use datashader methods over bokeh figure?

Question

I have a bokeh figure object. This object represents a map which is plotted with millions of points. I want to use datashader for this figure. How can I do it? I know there is InteractiveImage in bokeh extension of datashader. similarly is there any datashader extension for bokeh?

Answer 1

No, there is no datashader extension for bokeh itself. Instead, we have provided datashader support in HoloViews. The higher-level interface of HoloViews makes it possible to implement the dynamic behavior required by Datashader much more cleanly than we could do within Bokeh itself, while providing a fully functional Bokeh plot as the result.
