Example Gallery

This gallery contains a selection of examples of the plots Altair can create.

Some may seem fairly complicated at first glance, but they are built by combining a simple set of declarative building blocks.

Many draw upon sample datasets compiled by the Vega project. To access them yourself, install vega_datasets.

$ pip install vega_datasets
