Vega-Altair 
Vega-Altair is a declarative statistical visualization library for Python. With Vega-Altair, you can spend more time understanding your data and its meaning. Vega-Altair's API is simple, friendly and consistent and built on top of the powerful Vega-Lite JSON specification. This elegant simplicity produces beautiful and effective visualizations with a minimal amount of code.
Vega-Altair was originally developed by Jake Vanderplas and Brian Granger in close collaboration with the UW Interactive Data Lab. The Vega-Altair open source project is not affiliated with Altair Engineering, Inc.
Documentation
See Vega-Altair's Documentation Site as well as the Tutorial Notebooks. You can run the notebooks directly in your browser by clicking on one of the following badges:
Example
Here is an example using Vega-Altair to quickly visualize and display a dataset with the native Vega-Lite renderer in the JupyterLab:
```python import altair as alt
load a simple dataset as a pandas DataFrame
from vega_datasets import data cars = data.cars()
alt.Chart(cars).markpoint().encode( x='Horsepower', y='Milesper_Gallon', color='Origin', ) ```
One of the unique features of Vega-Altair, inherited from Vega-Lite, is a declarative grammar of not just visualization, but interaction. With a few modifications to the example above we can create a linked histogram that is filtered based on a selection of the scatter plot.
```python import altair as alt from vega_datasets import data
source = data.cars()
brush = alt.selection_interval()
points = alt.Chart(source).markpoint().encode( x='Horsepower', y='MilesperGallon', color=alt.when(brush).then("Origin").otherwise(alt.value("lightgray")) ).addparams( brush )
bars = alt.Chart(source).markbar().encode( y='Origin', color='Origin', x='count(Origin)' ).transformfilter( brush )
points & bars ```
Features
- Carefully-designed, declarative Python API.
- Auto-generated internal Python API that guarantees visualizations are type-checked and in full conformance with the Vega-Lite specification.
- Display visualizations in JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Visual Studio Code, on GitHub and nbviewer, and many more.
- Export visualizations to various formats such as PNG/SVG images, stand-alone HTML pages and the Online Vega-Lite Editor.
- Serialize visualizations as JSON files.
Installation
Vega-Altair can be installed with:
bash
pip install altair
