OpenBB Charting extension
This extension provides a charting library for OpenBB SDK.
The library includes:
- a charting infrastructure based on Plotly
- a set of charting components
- prebuilt charts for a set of commands that are built-in OpenBB SDK extensions
Installation
To install the extension, run the following command in this folder:
pip install openbb-charting
PyWry dependency on Linux
The PyWry dependency handles display of interactive charts and tables in a separate window. It is installed automatically with the OpenBB Charting extension.
When using Linux distributions, the PyWry dependency requires certain dependencies to be installed first.
-
Debian-based / Ubuntu / Mint:
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev -
Arch Linux / Manjaro:
sudo pacman -S webkit2gtk -
Fedora:
sudo dnf install gtk3-devel webkit2gtk3-devel
Usage
To use the extension, run any of the OpenBB SDK endpoints with the chart argument set to True.
Here's an example how it would look like in a python interface:
from openbb import obb
stock_data = obb.stocks.load(symbol="TSLA", chart=True)
This results in a OBBject object containing a chart attribute, which contains Plotly JSON data.
In order to display the chart, you need to call the show() method:
stock_data.show()
Note: The
show()method currently works either in a Jupyter Notebook or in a standalone python script with a PyWry based backend properly initialized.
