xpectral-chart 1.0.0

Fluent Bokeh charting for Polars and Pandas DataFrames

Xpectral Chart

Fluent Bokeh charting that extends Polars and Pandas DataFrames via the accessor pattern: df.bokeh.line(...), df.bokeh.scatter(...), and more.

Part of the Xpectral project, alongside xpectral-quant (financial metrics and market data). Both install into the shared xpectral namespace and can be used together.

Usage

import xpectral.charts  # registers the df.bokeh accessor
from xpectral.charts import PandasDataFrame
from xpectral.charts import PolarsDataFrame

df: PolarsDataFrame = pl.DataFrame({"x": [1, 2, 3], "y": [4, 5, 6]})
fig = df.bokeh(title="Example", width=600, height=400)
fig.line(x="x", y="y")

pd_df: PandasDataFrame = pd.DataFrame({"x": [1, 2, 3], "y": [4, 5, 6]})
pd_fig = pd_df.bokeh(title="Example", width=600, height=400)
pd_fig.line(x="x", y="y")

Importing xpectral.charts is what registers the accessor on Polars and Pandas DataFrames. Annotate sample DataFrames with PolarsDataFrame or PandasDataFrame when you want the editor (pyright) to resolve the df.bokeh(...) parameters and chained accessor methods — annotation is necessary for type hinting, as accessors are not discovered dynamically.

Custom chart methods

Use BokehAccessor.register to add your own methods to the accessor. The decorated function receives self — the accessor instance — giving access to self._df, self.source, self.plot, and all built-in glyph methods.

from xpectral.charts import BokehAccessor

@BokehAccessor.register
def price_band(self, mid, upper, lower, **kwargs):
    self.line(y=mid, **kwargs)
    self.varea(y1=lower, y2=upper, fill_alpha=0.2, **kwargs)

fig = df.bokeh(title="Bands", width=800, height=400)
fig.price_band(mid="close", upper="upper", lower="lower")

The method is available on both Polars and Pandas accessors immediately after registration.

See xpectral/charts/README.md for the module-level documentation (glyph methods, stacks, auto-color, themes, datetime axes).
