Cumulative Count Chart

This example shows an area chart with cumulative count. Adapted from https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/area_cumulative_freq.html

Method syntax

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

source = data.movies.url

alt.Chart(source).transform_window(
    cumulative_count="count()",
    sort=[{"field": "IMDB_Rating"}],
).mark_area().encode(
    x="IMDB_Rating:Q",
    y="cumulative_count:Q"
)

Attribute syntax

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

source = data.movies.url

alt.Chart(source).transform_window(
    cumulative_count="count()",
    sort=[{"field": "IMDB_Rating"}],
).mark_area().encode(
    x="IMDB_Rating:Q",
    y="cumulative_count:Q"
)
# No channel encoding options are specified in this chart
# so the code is the same as for the method-based syntax.
