Hi, I have the issue that my legend gets clipped if I place it at the bottom:
I don’t want to place it on the sides because it takes up too much space on mobile devices, making the app unusable.
In the docs, I found an option for legend_cols, but looking at the holoviews source code, I found out that the legend_orientation is forced to ‘horizontal’ when the legend position is above or below the chart:
def _process_legend(self, plot=None):
plot = plot or self.handles['plot']
if not plot.legend:
return
legend = plot.legend[0]
cmappers = [cmapper for cmapper in self.handles.values()
if isinstance(cmapper, CategoricalColorMapper)]
categorical = bool(cmappers)
if ((not categorical and not self.overlaid and len(legend.items) == 1)
or not self.show_legend):
legend.items[:] = []
else:
plot.legend.orientation = 'horizontal' if self.legend_cols else 'vertical'
pos = self.legend_position
if pos in self.legend_specs:
plot.legend[:] = []
legend.location = self.legend_offset
if pos in ['top', 'bottom']:
plot.legend.orientation = 'horizontal'
plot.add_layout(legend, self.legend_specs[pos])
else:
legend.location = pos
# Apply muting
for leg in plot.legend:
for item in leg.items:
for r in item.renderers:
r.muted = self.legend_muted
So, can we please get an option to set the legend_orientation when it’s above/below the chart?
I.e. configure the plot like shown below, but the legend_cols parameter actually taking effect and displacing the legend in 2 columns:
