📈 Panel HighCharts

The panel-highcharts package makes it easy to use Highcharts from Python for exploratory analysis in a Jupyter Notebook or as a HoloViz Panel Web App.

Check out the panel-highcharts examples on Binder or the article Highly Interactive Data Visualization.

🏁 Background

This project was started because a colleague of mine loves to use HighCharts for his analytics trading apps. As there was no really easy way of using HighCharts in Python, Notebooks or Panel, it would be difficult for me, my team and our traders to collaborate. So I created this package in my spare time as an open source project to share with the world.

⚖️ License

The panel-highcharts python package and repository is open source and free to use (MIT License), however Highcharts itself requires a license for commercial use. For more info see the Highcharts license FAQs.

🏃 Getting Started

With pip

pip install panel-highcharts

From within a Jupyter Notebook

import panel_highcharts as ph

import panel as pn
pn.extension('highchart')

configuration = {
    "title": {"text": "HighChart Pane"},
    "series": [
        {
            "name": "series1",
            "data": [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
        }
    ]
}

ph.HighChart(object=configuration, sizing_mode="stretch_width")

• Add more examples
• Add badges for 100% test coverage etc.
• Distribute as conda package
