Reference Manual¶

To learn how to use HoloViews, we recommend that people start with the Tutorials, and then use the online help features from within IPython Notebook to learn more. Each option should have corresponding tab-completion and help provided, and this is usually enough to determine how to use the HoloViews components.

Even so, for a truly comprehensive reference to every object in HoloViews, we provide this reference manual. The reference manual is generated directly from documentation and declarations in the source code, and is thus often much more verbose than necessary, because many little-used yet often-duplicated methods are listed for each class. Still, the reference for a given component does provide a comprehensive listing of all attributes and methods, inherited or otherwise, which is can be difficult to obtain from the source code directly.
