Overriding

Beyond the spec, any extra keyword to a plot function is an override routed to the active backend.

Keyword passthrough

import numpy as np
import behaviz as bv

x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100)
y = np.sin(x)

bv.plot_line(x, y, 
             color="firebrick", 
             linewidth=4, 
             alpha=0.7, 
             marker="o",
             markersize=10,
             markeredgecolor="#229911",
             markeredgewidth=2,
             label="trial 1")

behaviz maps canonical names to native ones per backend (color → mpl color / bokeh line_color+fill_color; label → legend_label). Backend-specific kwargs you pass that aren't canonical are forwarded as-is.

Reaching raw backend properties

You can also grab the returned (fig, ax) and set native properties directly, or use the canvas context manager.

f,ax = bv.plot_line(x, y)

ax.set_xticks([2,5])
ax.set_ylabel("signal")

f,ax = bv.plot_line(x, y)

ax.xaxis.ticker = [2,5]
ax.yaxis.axis_label = "signal"
show(ax)
