title: Vega-Lite description: Vega-Lite - a high-level grammar for statistical graphics. Vega-Lite provides a higher-level grammar for visual analysis, comparable to ggplot or Tableau, that generates complete Vega specifications. Vega-Lite specifications consist of simple mappings of variables in a data set to visual encoding channels such as x, y, color, and size. These mappings are then translated into detailed visualization specifications in the form of Vega specification language. Vega-Lite produces default values for visualization components (e.g., scales, axes, and legends) in the output Vega specification using a rule-based approach, but users can explicit specify these properties to override default values. baseurl: "/vega-lite" # the subpath of your site, e.g. /blog/ url: "http://vega.github.io" # the base hostname & protocol for your site twitter: username: vega_vis exclude: - bin - .github - .vscode - coverage - Gemfile - Gemfile.lock - node_modules - scripts - test - test-runtime - typings - package.json - yarn.lock - tsconfig.json - tslint.json - nodemon.json - LICENSE - README.md - src - examples/specs/data - examples/compiled/data markdown: kramdown highlighter: rouge kramdown: input: GFM syntax_highlighter: rouge auto_id_stripping: true plugins: - jekyll-sitemap - jekyll-seo-tag - jekyll-mentions
