This example shows a linked brushing-and-clicking dashboard for Seattle weather data, combining a scatterplot of daily maximum temperature and precipitation with a bar chart of weather-type counts. It demonstrates the Vega-Lite JavaScript API and vegaEmbed in the browser, where the API builds a visualization specification and vegaEmbed renders it into the DOM. The code uses `vl.selectInterval` and `vl.selectMulti` for interactive selections, `vl.markPoint` and `vl.markBar` for marks, and `vl.vconcat` to stack the two views. The data is loaded from the vega-datasets CDN, with weather categories colored via a custom scale and precipitation mapped to point size.

AI-generated description

Converted from : https://observablehq.com/@vega/vega-lite-api

A very simple example of how to run the wonderful JavaScript API for vega-lite directly in the browser. This one uses vegaEmbed to render the chart. The key is to use the api to generate the spec, and then vegaEmbed to render it.

vega-lite JavaScript API browser example with vegaEmbed

This example demonstrates linked brushing and selection between a scatterplot of daily maximum temperature and precipitation and a bar chart of weather-type counts, using Seattle weather data. It shows how brushing the time axis filters the bar chart, while clicking weather categories filters the scatterplot. The visualization is built with the vega-lite-api JavaScript wrapper to generate the Vega-Lite specification programmatically, then rendered via vegaEmbed. The code defines interval and multi-selection encodings, custom color scales, and filters to synchronize both views interactively.

vega-lite JavaScript API browser example with vegaEmbed

This example shows a simple bar chart of categorical values against quantitative data, rendered directly in the browser using the Vega-Lite JavaScript API. It demonstrates how to generate a chart specification programmatically with `vl.markBar()`, `.encode()`, and `.toJSON()`, then pass that spec to `vegaEmbed` for rendering. The code loads Vega, Vega-Lite, Vega-Embed, and the Vega-Lite API from CDNs, and the chart uses inline sample data with fields "a" and "b". The tooltip encoding includes both fields, making the interaction visible.

Vega-Lite Bar Chart

This example embeds a Vega-Lite specification into a webpage using the vegaEmbed API, rendering an interactive bar chart of precipitation counts from Seattle weather data. The chart uses a binned x-axis for precipitation values and a y-axis showing aggregate counts, with the data pulled directly from a GitHub-hosted CSV file. The code loads Vega, Vega-Lite, and Vega-Embed libraries from a CDN, and the mark type is set to `bar`. A separate JSON file defines a point chart with nominal and quantitative encodings, but the index.html file demonstrates the primary bar chart visualization.

Vega-Lite API Template w/ API Fetch

This example demonstrates a scatterplot of temperature readings for various cities, using the Vega-Lite API to construct the visualization. The chart encodes temperature as the y-axis and city as the x-axis, with a tooltip displaying the state for each point. The code fetches CSV data from a remote URL using `d3.csv`, then builds the visualization with `vega-lite-api`, rendering it as an SVG via the `vega` and `vega-lite` libraries. Styling is customized through a config object, and the chart fills the browser window with an autosize fit.

[Vega-Lite] 3.1 HTML setup

This example demonstrates a scatter plot of penguin culmen length versus culmen depth, rendered as circular marks using concrete measurements from the Palmer Penguins dataset. The page loads Vega-Lite 5 and Vega-Embed 6 from a CDN in a minimal HTML document, then calls `vegaEmbed('#vis', spec)` to parse the external `line.json` specification and inject the chart into a div. The Vega-Lite spec defines quantitative x- and y-encodings with a fixed width of 360 pixels, relying on Vega’s rendering pipeline to produce the visualization.

Vega-Lite API Template

This gallery example demonstrates six distinct data visualizations rendered sequentially on a single page, exploring relationships between automotive attributes like miles per gallon, horsepower, and weight from the auto-mpg dataset, alongside temperature trends over time from the week temperature SF dataset. The visualizations include scatter plots, line charts, and point plots, each customized with tooltips and color encoding. Built using the Vega-Lite API wrapper, the code dynamically retrieves CSV data via D3 and configures visual properties programmatically, with options for mark type, size, opacity, and axis scaling. The framework combines Vega, Vega-Lite, and Vega-Tooltip for interactive SVG rendering.

Vega-Lite API Template

This example pairs a heatmap with Vega-Lite’s declarative API to visualize daily temperature readings. The chart plots date fields on both axes, using semi-transparent pink points to reveal density patterns, with tooltips showing the raw Temperature value. The visualization is built with `vega-lite-api`, registered alongside `vega` and `vega-lite`, and loads CSV data via d3’s `csv` function. Custom config adjusts axis labels and tick colors for readability, while the canvas is sized to fit the full viewport.

Vega-Lite API Template

This example uses the Vega-Lite API to render a temperature time series as a line chart over the full viewport. The visualization displays temperature readings across timestamps, with tooltips showing individual values on hover. The code loads CSV data from an external URL via the `d3.csv` method, then constructs the chart using `vl.markLine` and `vl.encode` functions from the `vega-lite-api` library. Appearance is customized through a configuration object that adjusts axis labels and title styles.
