I realize this is nitpicky, but it seems obnoxious to call these[1] "candlesticks" when it would make much more sense to call the page box plots[2]. Wouldn't it? [1] http://bokeh.pydata.org/plot_gallery/candlestick.html [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_plot

Re: Bokeh – Interactive web visualization library in Python
#62As a "database guy" who uses Python for most things not bash, is this an approach for viz apps that would eliminate (most) of the need to muck about in JavaScript? D3 and its children produce some awesome visualizations, but the bandwidth does not exist for me to begin developing apps in a language I don't have much experience in. If something like Bokeh allows me to live mostly in Python, it becomes even more intere…
That is exactly the point of bokeh. It allows you to write python code and get browser based plots. Currently we have a python interface, but we intend to build interfaces in other langauges. Look at the examples gallery, which include the code needed to generate the plots. http://bokeh.pydata.org/gallery.html A relatively simple plot (scroll down to see the code): http://bokeh.pydata.org/plot_gallery/correlation.htm…
Hope there's some kind of python server side push technology to update browser graphs in realtime.

Nah: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candlestick_chart
Awesome! I fell for the superficial resemblance, clearly. :) (I even searched for the term candlestick on the wikipedia page for box plots... )

The current zoom tool is a scroll wheel zoom, not a box selection zoom. Guessing that might be the issue since others have run into the ambiguous description as well. It will be labeled more precisely in master in a few days and in the next release as well. If that is not the issue, please file a ticket on GitHub!
On a Macbook, the scroll wheel equivalent is the two fingered scroll and that doesn't seem to work for me (scroll the page).
Do you have the tool selected in the toolbar above? If so, please file a ticket on GH about this. Most of the Bokeh devs are on OSX so it would surprise me if it does not work on OSX, but if there is a bug we want to fix it!

I didn't realise "bokeh" was a Japanese word. That's really cool. Seems like it uses this kanji 暈 [1] meaning "corona" or "halo" (in turn made up of the "sun" kanji, "car" kanji and "crown" radical–I'm not sure if there's a historical reason for this but it makes it easy to remember at least). [1] http://jisho.org/kanji/details/暈
Boke (meaning blur ) is from a combination of kanji 暈 ( bo ) and hiragana け ( ke ). You'll notice that "bokeh" doesn't look like usual romaji (Japanese romanization) spelling, since it would normally be transliterated as boke . It was spelled bokeh with the extra 'h' to avoid accidental pronunciation like poke . [1] http://www.luminous-landscape.com/essays/bokeh.shtml
Thanks for the info. I just realised too (thanks to a friend) that the kanji might originate because "corona" sounds similar to "kuruma" (meaning "car"), and that's why the "bo" kanji has the "car" kanji in it.
