altair.SelectionParameter

class altair.SelectionParameter(name=Undefined, select=Undefined, bind=Undefined, value=Undefined, **kwds)

SelectionParameter schema wrapper.

Parameters:

namestr, ParameterName

Required. A unique name for the selection parameter. Selection names should be valid JavaScript identifiers: they should contain only alphanumeric characters (or “$”, or “_”) and may not start with a digit. Reserved keywords that may not be used as parameter names are “datum”, “event”, “item”, and “parent”.

selectdict, SelectionType, Literal[‘point’, ‘interval’], PointSelectionConfig, IntervalSelectionConfig

Determines the default event processing and data query for the selection. Vega-Lite currently supports two selection types:

• "point" – to select multiple discrete data values; the first value is selected on click and additional values toggled on shift-click.

• "interval" – to select a continuous range of data values on drag.

binddict, Binding, BindInput, BindRange, BindDirect, BindCheckbox, LegendBinding, BindRadioSelect, Literal[‘legend’, ‘scales’], LegendStreamBinding

When set, a selection is populated by input elements (also known as dynamic query widgets) or by interacting with the corresponding legend. Direct manipulation interaction is disabled by default; to re-enable it, set the selection’s on property.

Legend bindings are restricted to selections that only specify a single field or encoding.

Query widget binding takes the form of Vega’s input element binding definition or can be a mapping between projected field/encodings and binding definitions.

See also: bind documentation.

valuestr, bool, dict, float, DateTime, SelectionInit, PrimitiveValue, SelectionInitIntervalMapping, Sequence[dict, SelectionInitMapping], None

Initialize the selection with a mapping between projected channels or field names and initial values.
