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](https://github.com/vega/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](https://github.com/jakevdp) and [Brian Granger](https://github.com/ellisonbg) in close collaboration with the [UW Interactive Data Lab](https://idl.cs.washington.edu/).* *The Vega-Altair open source project is not affiliated with Altair Engineering, Inc.* ## Documentation See [Vega-Altair's Documentation Site](https://altair-viz.github.io) as well as the [Tutorial Notebooks](https://github.com/altair-viz/altair_notebooks). You can run the notebooks directly in your browser by clicking on one of the following badges: [![Binder](https://beta.mybinder.org/badge.svg)](https://beta.mybinder.org/v2/gh/altair-viz/altair_notebooks/master) [![Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.research.google.com/github/altair-viz/altair_notebooks/blob/master/notebooks/Index.ipynb) ## 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).mark_point().encode( x='Horsepower', y='Miles_per_Gallon', color='Origin', ) ``` ![Vega-Altair Visualization](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/altair-viz/altair/main/images/cars.png) 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).mark_point().encode( x='Horsepower', y='Miles_per_Gallon', color=alt.condition(brush, 'Origin', alt.value('lightgray')) ).add_params( brush ) bars = alt.Chart(source).mark_bar().encode( y='Origin', color='Origin', x='count(Origin)' ).transform_filter( brush ) points & bars ``` ![Vega-Altair Visualization Gif](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/altair-viz/altair/main/images/cars_scatter_bar.gif) ## 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](https://github.com/vega/vega-lite) specification. * Display visualizations in JupyterLab, Jupyter Notebook, Visual Studio Code, on GitHub and [nbviewer](https://nbviewer.jupyter.org/), and many more. * Export visualizations to various formats such as PNG/SVG images, stand-alone HTML pages and the [Online Vega-Lite Editor](https://vega.github.io/editor/#/). * Serialize visualizations as JSON files. ## Installation Vega-Altair can be installed with: ```bash pip install altair ``` If you are using the conda package manager, the equivalent is: ```bash conda install altair -c conda-forge ``` For full installation instructions, please see [the documentation](https://altair-viz.github.io/getting_started/installation.html). ## Getting Help If you have a question that is not addressed in the documentation, you can post it on [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/altair) using the `altair` tag.
