Vega-Lite Reviews and Details

Social recommendations and mentions

• A Preview of DuckDB v2.0

  For a schema-first (vs. Code first) approach (which I think would be a sweet spot for agent driven dashboarding), I'd suggest looking at https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/ or https://vega.github.io/vega/. A little higher level than full D3 but gives you a little higher level approach. - Source: Hacker News / 15 days ago

• Show HN: DAC – open-source dashboard as code tool for agents and humans

  Why not use Vega-Lite[0]? It’s my go-to data viz DSL with Claude. [0] https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Using GPT for natural language querying

  ## **Follow-up use case - building a query in a query language that the user may not know** This feature is useful when a user needs to query a tool with its own specific query language or with a structure that the user doesn’t know. AWS seems to be running an A/B test of a feature where you can generate a CloudWatch search query based on a natural language input. ![Image... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Vega – A declarative language for interactive visualization designs

  - In our case some features were missing (and are still missing) - exponential average - that is most commonly used to smooth ML training curves.

• Show HN: I made first declaritive SVG,canvas framework

  We use the slightly simpler vega-lite from the same group. It typically gets us 98% of the way there quite quickly. Its from the same team, just a more simple wrapper around D3. https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What's the best charting library for customer-facing dashboards?

  I like Vega-Lite: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/ It’s built by folks from the same lab as D3, but designed as “a higher-level visual specification language on top of D3” [https://vega.github.io/vega/about/vega-and-d3/] My favorite way to prototype a dashboard is to use Streamlit to lay things out and serve it and then use Altair [https://altair-viz.github.io/] to generate the Vega-Lite plots in Python. Then if... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Gnuplotlib: Non-Painful Plotting for NumPy

  I also have difficulties with Gnuplot and Matplotlib. I like Vega that allows me to create visualisations in a declarative way. If I really need something special I go with d3.js, which had a really steep learning curve but with ChatGPT it should have become easier for beginners.

• Elixir Livebook is a secret weapon for documentation

  To ensure you do not miss this: LiveBook comes with a Vega Lite integration (https://livebook.dev/integrations -> https://livebook.dev/integrations/vega-lite/), which means you get access to a lot of visualisations out of the box, should you need that (https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/). In the same "standing on giant's shoulders" stance, you can use Explorer (see example LiveBook at... - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Observable Plot: The JavaScript library for exploratory data visualization

  Nice, would be nice to have it integrated in GitHub markdown. Looks similar to Vega or Vega-lite(https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/). Definitely as rich as D3.js but gets the job done for simple visualisations. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago

• 2022 FIFA World Cup finishing position probability per team [OC]

  The underlying data is from an online betting site. Data analysis was done in Python and I used Vega/Altair for the visualisation. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Plotting

  I have a bunch of data that I want to plot. I'm using lisp-stat, which is pretty good, for data frames and analysis. However, lisp-stat uses vega-lite for plotting and to put it mildly, vega-lite is fucking awful. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Chartist: Simple Responsive Charts in SVG

  I wish the author all the best in developing his library; at the moment it seems quite incomplete, so if you want SVG charts today, I recommend Observable Plot[1] or Vega-Lite[2] [1]: https://github.com/observablehq/plot [2]: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 4 years ago

• Observable tutorial: Analyze data in a JavaScript-native data notebook

  Alternatively, you can import and use Vega-Lite library which is widely popular and used by thousands of data enthusiasts:. - Source: dev.to / almost 4 years ago

• Datawrapper: Create Charts, Maps, and Tables

  (Disclaimer: I work at Datawrapper) For most projects, our free plan might suffice: https://blog.datawrapper.de/create-data-visualization-for-free/ It’s fully usable for commercial use as well. In terms of in-between projects, if comfortable with a bit of programming I would probably look at Vega Lite [0] or Observable Plot [1]. For GUI tools, there’s also the excellent RAW Graphs [2] to consider! [0]... - Source: Hacker News / over 4 years ago

• Experimenting with Data Visualization Using Vega Lite

  Using data pulled from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, I plotted a graph using the Vega-Lite JavaScript library on the Observable platform. In the following steps I'm going to detail how I pulled and plotted data illustrating deaths in Latinx communities by county in California. - Source: dev.to / over 4 years ago

• Any general purpose visualisation "just add the data" framework

  Have you tried Vega or Vega-lite https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/ It allows you to describe the view for your data in the form of simple json specification. It provides a good compromise between flexibility and simplicity. Source: over 4 years ago

  Here's approximations of both using Deneb & Vega-Lite. Source: over 4 years ago

• Generating visualizations from data for web pages

  My understanding is the Altair package https://altair-viz.github.io/ from the Python world does this: Python code generates a Vega-Lite https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/ specification along with the raw data output as json, and these then can be bundled together into a webpage where the vega.js Javascript-based renderer then does the actual visualization work in the browser. Does a similar project for Rust exist?... Source: over 4 years ago

• Can I say Makie and Vegalite is the best pure Julia data visulization library yet?

  Also (as stated by others) Vegalite is not a "pure" Julia library, since it wraps the Vegalite javascript library. Source: almost 5 years ago

• Deneb: Declarative Visualization in Power BI

  As such, I've been obsessed with the Vega and Vega-Lite languages for a long time. These use JSON rather than full-blown code, and allow you to build a visual from the ground-up using a grammar of graphics, much like ggplot2 in R or Altair in Python (which is actually an implementation of Vega/Vega-Lite).
