In this section, we'll take a brief look at the most popular visualizing framework in Python, called Bokeh, and use its (also fast-evolving) Scala bindings to the framework. Breeze also has a visualization API called breeze-viz, which is built on JFreeChart. Bokeh is backed by a JavaScript visualization library, called BokehJS. The Scala bindings library bokeh-scala not only gives an easier way to construct glyphs (lines, circles, and so on) out of Scala objects, but also translates glyphs into a format that is understandable by the BokehJS JavaScript components.
