This example visualizes Gapminder population growth data by plotting each country as a circle on a scatterplot, with the year on the x-axis, total population on the y-axis, and circle size and color encoding population magnitude and country identity. The visualization is built using the Vega-Lite API, which registers with Vega and Vega-Lite, and loads the CSV data via d3.csv. It applies a custom configuration for axis styling and uses a tooltip handler to display country names on interaction.

Population Vega Lite

This line chart displays population trends for selected countries from 1950 to 2020, using a color-encoded line for each nation. The visualization is built with the Vega-Lite API (vl) on top of Vega and Vega-Lite, rendering to SVG. Data is fetched as CSV via d3.csv from a remote gist, then unfolded into long format with Year and Population fields. Tooltips, provided by Vega-Tooltip, show the country name on hover, while a custom config adjusts axis and label styling.

Vega-Lite API Countries

This visualization displays population by country as a horizontal bar chart, with countries sorted by population. Built with Vega-Lite’s API and rendered via D3, it loads data from a CSV of 2015 population figures. The chart uses a dark theme, custom axis styling, and tooltips showing exact values. The code registers Vega-Lite with a tooltip handler and fits the chart to the window size using an autosize configuration. The design improves readability with larger fonts and muted colors, while the interactive tooltip provides detailed population numbers on hover.

Vega-Lite API Template

This example displays the population of countries in 2015 as horizontal bars, ranked from largest to smallest, with the countries on the x-axis and their population on the y-axis. Built with the Vega-Lite API, it dynamically loads data via `d3.csv` from a remote gist and renders the chart using Vega-Lite’s SVG renderer. The code customizes the axis and tooltip appearance through a configuration object, and it uses `vega-tooltip` for interactive hover details. The visualization adapts its width and height to the window size with an autosize fit.

Vega-Lite API Template

This example visualizes the population of countries in 2015 using a bar chart, with countries sorted in descending order of population. The visualization is built with the Vega-Lite API, which registers Vega and Vega-Lite libraries, and uses D3’s `csv` loader to fetch the dataset from a GitHub gist. The chart renders in an SVG view, with a tooltip from `vega-tooltip` to display population values on hover, and uses a custom config for axis and label styling.

Fork of Vega-Lite API Template

This example visualizes the distribution of population by country using a scatter plot, with points colored by percentage and positioned along a categorical country axis and quantitative population axis. It loads data from the UCI Auto MPG dataset via a Gist, though the code references CSS named colors and population fields. Built with the Vega-Lite API, the visualization registers Vega and Vega-Lite, configures an SVG renderer with tooltips, and applies a custom dark theme for improved readability. The chart uses a point mark with reduced opacity and a zero-less scale to highlight population differences.

Country Population Data Using Vega-Lite API Template

This visualization displays the population of each country in 2015 as a bar chart, with countries sorted by population descending and a tooltip showing the population value on hover. The chart uses the Vega-Lite API to define the bar mark and encoding, while the vega-lite and vega libraries handle rendering to SVG. Data is loaded from a CSV file via D3’s `csv` function, and the chart’s appearance is customized through the `config` object, which adjusts font sizes and axis styling for readability.

Vega-Lite Bar Chart

This bar chart visualizes population by country for 2015, using the Vega-Lite grammar to map countries to the x-axis and population to the y-axis. Built with the `vega-lite-api` and rendered via the `vega` and `vega-lite` libraries, it loads data from a CSV file using `d3.csv` and displays interactive tooltips via `vega-tooltip`'s Handler. The chart is styled with a custom config for improved readability.

Vega-lite barchart population

This example displays a bar chart of 2015 country populations, sorted in descending order, with interactive tooltips showing population values. It is built using the Vega-Lite API, which composes a specification for bar marks, nominal country fields, and quantitative population encodings. The visualization pulls data from a CSV file via `d3.csv`, and renders with SVG through `vega` and `vega-lite`. The chart fits the window and applies custom axis and label styling from a shared config object.
