9. Data Mark Encoding Transform Scale Guide Let’s make a chart
10. Data Mark Encoding Transform Scale Guide import altair as alt from vega_datasets import data iris = data.iris() sepalLength sepalWidth PetalLength PetalWidth species 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 setosa 4.9 3.0 1.4 0.2 setosa 4.7 3.2 1.3 0.2 setosa 4.6 3.1 1.5 0.2 setosa ⠇
11. Data Mark Encoding Transform Scale Guide import altair as alt from vega_datasets import data iris = data.iris() alt.Chart(iris).mark_circle()
12. Data Mark Encoding Transform Scale Guide import altair as alt from vega_datasets import data iris = data.iris() alt.Chart(iris).mark_circle() Without an encoding our chart is not very interesting
13. Data Mark Encoding Transform Scale Guide import altair as alt from vega_datasets import data iris = data.iris() alt.Chart(iris).mark_circle().encode( alt.X('petalLength'), alt.Y('petalWidth') )
14. Data Mark Encoding Transform import altair as alt from vega_datasets import data iris = data.iris() alt.Chart(iris).mark_circle().encode( alt.X('petalLength'), alt.Y('petalWidth'), alt.Color('species') ) Scale Guide
15. Data Mark Encoding Transform import altair as alt from vega_datasets import data iris = data.iris() alt.Chart(iris).mark_circle().encode( alt.X('petalLength'), alt.Y('petalWidth'), alt.Color('species') ) Scale Guide Note that the guides and scales are automatically generated for us
16. Data Mark Encoding Transform import altair as alt from vega_datasets import data iris = data.iris() alt.Chart(iris).mark_circle().encode( alt.X('petalLength'), alt.Y('petalWidth'), alt.Color('species') ).transform_filter( alt.datum.sepalWidth < 3 ) Scale Guide
