• 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 / 5 days 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 / 9 months 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 / about 1 year 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: over 1 year 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: over 1 year 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 / over 1 year 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 / over 1 year 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 / about 2 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 2 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 2 years ago

• Fading line chart visual

  Here's approximations of both using Deneb & Vega-Lite. Source: over 2 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 2 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: over 2 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).

• Show HN: Low-Code Metrics Store

  Hi! Yeah, you could use it as a simple business intelligence, we use Vega (https://vega.github.io/vega-lite) to create visualizations and it's kind of can visualize anything. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Electron Anyone?

  I'm looking to do something similar to what Electron.jl and ElectronDisplay.jl do, which is embed visualisations into electron windows, and manage them, via the REPL. Most of the work in visualisations these days seem to be JavaScript based, like Plotly and Vega-Lite, and I want to tap into the ecosystem that's been built around them, for example Vega/Voyager for data exploration.

• Is it possible to remotely integrate R and its associate libraries instead of local install?

  If you're up for something slightly different, I'm currently working on a visual called Deneb, that provides the Vega and Vega-Lite languages for visual development inside Power BI Desktop. I appreciate this isn't either R or Python but the runtimes are packaged in, so you just need the visual loaded in your report and no further setup is required (apart from learning the syntax).

• Using Apache ECharts with React and TypeScript

  It's a cool data-visualization library like Highcharts, Chart.js, amCharts, Vega-Lite, and numerous others. A lot of companies/products including AWS are using it in production. - Source: dev.to / almost 3 years ago

• D3 v7.0.0 Released

  If you want the polish of d3 and some of its power without all the complexity, try Vega Lite and related tooling: https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago
