Clojurians Log v2

These projects look pretty great, and elaborate, thank you. I guess I am looking for smth more simple. Like maria.cloud, but run locally with VSC and minimal installation, that kids can use without being overwhelmed. I have to backtrack a little.

Hi! actually browser does not matter that much, nice to have. I want to create a minimal setup that is easy to install and can render graphics and simple animation based on primitives

Vega appears to be geared towards business chart. But if it can render other sort of graphics it would be interesting to learn more

For browser-free uses of Vega, there is also Darkstar: https://github.com/applied-science/darkstar

I think some folks have also used #scittle with vega-lite

Thanks!

So @daslu - do you have any suggestions for @dennisa?

It looks wonderful. I'll try to think about possible use cases. 🤔 🙏 Mentioning also @carsten.behring who created an EDN version of the Vega-Lite official examples: https://behrica.github.io/vl-galery/convert/ and @jsa-aerial, the author of https://github.com/jsa-aerial/hanami.

@daslu What I was getting it is I think you made some stuff with scittle + vega-lite, which I hoped you could share with @dennisa

But I could be misremembering it

https://github.com/cldwalker/bb-clis/blob/master/doc/scripts.md#bb-vis is the updated readme to that script. I haven't used it in awhile unfortunately. For what I was doing, vl2* commands were all that I needed to interface with. If I ever need to dip into the vega-lite api I'd definitely switch to nbb 🙂

Oh, sorry. Yes, I do use Vega-Lite from Scittle, simply to render plots in an html page. How would that be useful in an #nbb script?

Well, I first pointed @dennisa to #nbb but it wasn't clear to me he wished to target the browser

Ohhh

Here is a piece of cljs code I'm using from #scittle to render a Vega / Vega-Lite spec: https://github.com/scicloj/clay/blob/d09b981342124ba8fb4769e682c7a52d7070aedd/src/scicloj/clay/v1/tool/scittle/cljs_generation.clj#L19

(defn vega [spec]
     [:div
      {:ref (fn [el]
              (-> el
                  (js/vegaEmbed (clj->js spec)
                                (clj->js {:renderer :svg}))
                  (.then (fn [res]))
                  (.catch (fn [err] (println (str "vegaEmbed error: " err))))))}])

Thanks!

Please tell me if I can help some how. I'm curious to hear about troubles & surprises.
