Observable Plot is a free, open-source JavaScript library for creating data visualisations on the Web. It has a concise, easy to learn syntax that allows users to rapidly build and iterate between exploratory data visualisations.

Like Vega-Lite and the ggplot2 R package, Plot is an implementation of Leland Wilkinson’s "Grammar of Graphics" (1999, 2005), a framework for articulating the component elements of graphics. The grammar is explicit in the syntax that Plot uses to construct graphics. Marks are geometric shapes like lines, bars and dots that have particular visual properties or channels that data can be bound to. For example, columns of data can be encoded to the x-position and y-position channels of a line mark. Multiple marks can then be layered on top of each other using the same scale.

How is Plot different from D3?

Plot is for creating data visualisations on the fly. D3 is much more expressive, with a lower level of abstraction that is suited to creating custom visualisations. [Read more]

Can you only use Plot in Observable?

Plot works really well inside Observable's reactive notebooks but you can use vanilla HTML too.

What are the benefits of using Plot?

It has a concise and intuitive API
It is informed by 10 years of experience developing and maintaining D3.js
It's extensible so you can transform your data with custom functions or leverage other libraries like D3

What are the limitations of Plot?

It's still in beta
There is no support for legends or text wrapping yet
It requires D3-7
It doesn't play well with Internet Explorer
