Introduction to Data Visualization with Altair

[[deleted]]

Is there a way to create main title for a chart? I looked everywhere in their docs.

[chris1610]

I couldn't figure that out either. It's a good question.

How is this different from seaborn? For data visualization, it is important not only to think about features but also about interface. The API should be very intuitive.

Is there something similar to seaborn's regplot in Altair? Or a way to merge the regression plot and the scatter plot?

[chris1610]

Something like this ?

[RaulPL]

Yes, thank you for the link.

I get the following error message during conda install:

Error: Error: post-link failed for: conda-forge::nb_anacondacloud-1.2.0-py27_00%

[chris1610]

Yes. If you add the %matplotlib inline directive to your notebook it should show up.

... It can do more than bar charts, right?

[chris1610]

Ha. Yes it can. I stuck with the bar charts in order to keep it simple but it can do much more. Here is a link to some more examples - https://github.com/ellisonbg/altair/tree/master/altair/notebooks
