# Bokeh Plots and Kyso

To make bokeh plots work inside Jupyter and render on Kyso, we need to save the plot to a virtual html file and then show it in the notebook:

```
from bokeh.plotting import figure, output_file, save
from IPython.display import IFrame
from IPython.core.display import display, HTML
import tempfile

def bokeh_show(plot):
    tmp_output_filename = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(suffix='.html').name
    output_file(tmp_output_filename)
    save(plot)

    f = open(tmp_output_filename, "r")
    display(HTML(f.read()))
```

Then we can use this function `bokeh_show` to show any plots we create:

```
p = figure(title="Bokeh test", plot_width=300, plot_height=300)
p.circle([1, 2], [3, 4])

bokeh_show(p)
```
