Line Chart with Datum for Color

An example of using datum and repeat to color a multi-series line chart. This is adapted from this corresponding Vega-Lite Example: Repeat and Layer to Show Different Movie Measures.

Method syntax

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

source = data.movies()

alt.Chart(source).mark_line().encode(
    alt.X("IMDB_Rating").bin(True),
    alt.Y(alt.repeat("layer"))
        .aggregate("mean")
        .title("Mean of US and Worldwide Gross"),
    color=alt.datum(alt.repeat("layer")),
).repeat(
    layer=["US_Gross", "Worldwide_Gross"]
)
