I’m working on a branch of Portal that adds visualizations with https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/ via https://github.com/metasoarous/oz#as-client-side-reagent-components. Portal will detect any vega-lite data and render it with a viewer. In addition I want to have an easier path to quickly tapping out plots. What kind of data structures would you expect to be able to be visualized as a chart? Ex. if you tap out a collection of maps with :x :y keys that can be viewed as a line/scatter plot. Feedback/ideas welcome 😄

Here’s a https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/. I think it’s a perfect match for portal visualizations because it uses an entirely declarative JSON spec for describing high level graphics. It will open up a lot of possibilities for us to take data and convert it into a useful visualization

Can't wait to get this merged!

Vega will also give us a path for visualizing geojson and other geographic data structures 😄
