• Show HN: Minard – Generate beautiful charts with natural language

  Hi HN – Excited to share a beta for Minard, a new data visualization toolkit we've been working on that lets you generate publication-quality charts with simple natural language (throw away your matplotlib docs and rejoice!). Upload or import CSVs, Excel, and JSON, give it a spin, and please let us know what you think! (Long format data works best for now) For those curious, the stack is a simple Django app with... - Source: Hacker News / 27 days ago

• Plotting XGBoost Models with Elixir

  I recently added support for plotting XGBoost models using Vega (https://vega.github.io/vega/) into the XGBoost Elixir API (https://github.com/acalejos/exgboost). Since EXGBoost supports loading trained models across different APIs, you can even train using the Python API and then plot using this Elixir API if you prefer. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• [OC] Most In-Demand Programming Languages from Jan-2022 to Jun-2023

  The Data Source is from devjobsscanner (I am basically the owner, so I have the data) an the tool used to make the chart is Vega. Source: 11 months ago

• If you had to pick a library from another language (Rust, JS, etc.) that isn’t currently available in Python and have it instantly converted into Python for you to use, what would it be?

  It’s based on Vega https://vega.github.io/vega/ which means it’s an already matured backend. Vega-lite is the Javascript package and Altair is the Python. Source: about 1 year ago

• Launched my ADHD productivity app on product hunt - would love your support

  Eh, I have no reason to, and not much interest in PHP anymore. Things like Vega seem really cool. Source: over 1 year ago

• [OC] Salaries Distribution by Programming Languages in 2022

  This chart is make with Vega (and also all the charts from the article). Data source is from devjobsscanner and contains about 10 Million dev jobs offers, which only a small subset contain salary information thought. Source: over 1 year ago

• Simple plotting/graphing crate suggestions

  Not that I'm working on it, but I'd love to see a vega stack in rust. Source: about 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).

• What's the future of d3.js and is there a good alternative for interactive maps w/ plots?

  Heads up for people looking for a good abstraction layer for d3.js Check out Vega: https://vega.github.io/vega/. Source: over 2 years ago

• What Next?

  D3.js and Vega are extremely useful to know from a visualisation perspective. Source: over 2 years ago

• Show HN: MPLG – Matplotlib GUI, design plots visually and export as Python code

  I wonder, have you considered Vega output? (https://vega.github.io/vega). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• 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).
