Julia bindings to Vega-Lite
VegaLite.jl is a plotting package for the julia programming language. The package is based on Vega-Lite, which extends a traditional grammar of graphics API into a grammar of interactive graphics.
Additionally, VegaLite.jl provides basic support for Vega.
VegaLite.jl allows you to create a wide range of statistical plots. It exposes the full functionality of the underlying Vega-Lite and is at the same time tightly integrated into the julia ecosystem. Here is an example of a scatter plot:
using VegaLite, VegaDatasets
dataset("cars") |>
@vlplot(
:point,
x=:Horsepower,
y=:Miles_per_Gallon,
color=:Origin,
width=400,
height=400
)
To install VegaLite.jl, run the following command in the julia Pkg REPL-mode:
(v1.0) pkg> add VegaLiteThe current documentation can be found here.
VegaLite.jl can be used in combination with many different front end clients including JupyterLab, Pluto.jl, and Julia for VSCode.
Important: JupyterLab supplies its own version of Vega-Lite and cannot be kept in perfect sync with VegaLite.jl. Formatting discrepancies can and will arise on occasion for JupyterLab users. VegaLite.jl targets the latest available minor release of Vega-Lite which is also supported by JupyterLab.
JupyterLab support depends on Juperlab's built-in renderer; before updating to a new major version of vega-lite, check the JupyterLab project for the latest supported version of vega-lite.
