Building blocks for analyzing, accelerating, and scaling Vega visualizations

Purpose

The VegaFusion project provides Rust, Python, and JavaScript libraries for analyzing, accelerating, and scaling Vega visualizations. The goal is to provide low-level building blocks that higher level Vega systems (such as Vega-Altair in Python) can integrate with.

Note

If you’ve arrived here looking for information on how to scale Vega-Altair visualizations to support larger datasets, see the Vega-Altair documentation on the "vegafusion" data transformer.

Architecture

See How it works for more details on the VegaFusion architecture.

Python Installation

The VegaFusion Python package can be installed into a Python environment using pip

pip install vegafusion

or conda

conda install -c conda-forge vegafusion
