I am making a plot following the example found here
Unfortunately, I have 17 curves I need to display, and the legend overlaps them. I know I can create a legend object that can be displayed outside the plot area like here, but I have 17 curves so using a loop is much more convenient.
Do you know how to combine both methods?

Ok, I found the solution. See the code below where I have just modified the interactive legend example:
import pandas as pd from bokeh.palettes import Spectral4 from bokeh.plotting import figure, output_file, show from bokeh.sampledata.stocks import AAPL, IBM, MSFT, GOOG from bokeh.models import Legend from bokeh.io import output_notebook output_notebook() p = figure(plot_width=800, plot_height=250, x_axis_type="datetime", toolbar_location='above') p.title.text = 'Click on legend entries to mute the corresponding lines' legend_it = [] for data, name, color in zip([AAPL, IBM, MSFT, GOOG], ["AAPL", "IBM", "MSFT", "GOOG"], Spectral4): df = pd.DataFrame(data) df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['date']) c = p.line(df['date'], df['close'], line_width=2, color=color, alpha=0.8, muted_color=color, muted_alpha=0.2) legend_it.append((name, [c])) legend = Legend(items=legend_it) legend.click_policy="mute" p.add_layout(legend, 'right') show(p)
