How do I programmatically change the underlying data in the PolyDraw stream

[kcpevey]

From the docs:

import holoviews as hv
from holoviews import streams, opts
path = hv.Path([[(1, 5), (9, 5)]])
poly = hv.Polygons([[(2, 2), (5, 8), (8, 2)]])
path_stream = streams.PolyDraw(source=path, drag=True, show_vertices=True)
poly_stream = streams.PolyDraw(source=poly, drag=True, num_objects=4,
                               show_vertices=True, styles={
                                   'fill_color': ['red', 'green', 'blue']
                               })

(path * poly).opts(
    opts.Path(color='red', height=400, line_width=5, width=400),
    opts.Polygons(fill_alpha=0.3, active_tools=['poly_draw']))

Now suppose I want to programmatically change the polygon to
poly2 = hv.Polygons([[(1, 1), (4, 4), (8, 2)]])

How would I do that?

If you do this:
poly_stream.source = poly2
it disconnects the original poly from the stream, so if you try to visualize poly like you did originally, you don’t get the drawing tools. You’d have to view poly2 which would cause me to do a complete image reload.

This of course is terribly inefficient. Is there a better way that would allow me to modify the drawing without reload?

Ahh. I need to add hv.extension('bokeh').

import holoviews as hv
from holoviews import streams, opts
import panel as pn
hv.extension('bokeh')
path = hv.Path([[(1, 5), (9, 5)]])
poly = hv.Polygons([[(2, 2), (5, 8), (8, 2)]])
path_stream = streams.PolyDraw(source=path, drag=True, show_vertices=True)
poly_stream = streams.PolyDraw(source=poly, drag=True, num_objects=4,
                               show_vertices=True, styles={
                                   'fill_color': ['red', 'green', 'blue']
                               })

plot = (path * poly).opts(
    opts.Polygons(fill_alpha=0.3, active_tools=['poly_draw']),
    opts.Path(color='red', height=400, line_width=5, width=400),
    )

pn.Column(plot).servable()

I would have expected something like the below to work. But nothing happens when I click the button.

import holoviews as hv
from holoviews import streams, opts
import panel as pn
hv.extension('bokeh')
path = hv.Path([[(1, 5), (9, 5)]])
poly = hv.Polygons([[(2, 2), (5, 8), (8, 2)]])
path_stream = streams.PolyDraw(source=path, drag=True, show_vertices=True)
poly_stream = streams.PolyDraw(source=poly, drag=True, num_objects=4,
                               show_vertices=True, styles={
                                   'fill_color': ['red', 'green', 'blue']
                               })

plot = (path * poly).opts(
    opts.Polygons(fill_alpha=0.3, active_tools=['poly_draw']),
    opts.Path(color='red', height=400, line_width=5, width=400),
    )
def update(*_):
    print(poly.data)
    poly.data = [[(1, 1), (4, 4), (8, 2)]]
    print(poly.data)

button = pn.widgets.Button(name="Change")
button.on_click(callback=update)

pn.Column(button, plot).servable()

I’ve also tried to disable the streams but still clicking the button does change anything.

Something like the below reset the poly. But I don’t know if you want to keep anything the user has drawn?

from os import linesep
import holoviews as hv
from holoviews import streams, opts
import panel as pn
from random import randint

LINE = "red"
FILL1 = "green"
FILL2 = "fulvous"
FILL3 = "blue"

hv.extension('bokeh')
path = hv.Path([[(1, 5), (9, 5)]])
poly = hv.Polygons([[(2, 2), (5, 8), (8, 2)]])
path_stream = streams.PolyDraw(source=path, drag=True, show_vertices=True)
poly_stream = streams.PolyDraw(source=poly, drag=True, num_objects=4,
                               show_vertices=True, styles={
                                   'fill_color': [FILL1, FILL2, FILL3]
                               })

def get_plot(path, poly):
    return (path * poly).opts(
        opts.Polygons(fill_alpha=0.3, active_tools=['poly_draw']),
        opts.Path(color=LINE, height=400, line_width=5, width=400),
        )
plot = get_plot(path,poly)
plot_pane = pn.pane.HoloViews(plot)

def update(*_):
    poly2 = hv.Polygons([[(randint(2,5), randint(6,9)), (4, 4), (8, 2)]])
    poly_stream.source = poly2
    plot_pane.object = get_plot(path, poly2)

button = pn.widgets.Button(name="RANDOM RESET")
button.on_click(callback=update)

pn.Column(plot_pane,  button).servable()

This is great!
How would one return the new polygon edges or vertices? What about the enclosed points?
Print(poly.data) returns an OrderedDict of x,y vertex locations from the original polygon which is a start.
