2f:T48a,md` ### Quantitative (Q) With *quantitative* data we can measure numerical differences among values. There are multiple sub-types of quantitative data: For *interval* data we can measure the distance (interval) between points: *what is the distance to value A from value B? (A - B)*, supporting statements such as “A is 12 units away from B”. For *ratio* data the zero point is meaningful, so we can also measure proportions or scale factors: *value A is what proportion of value B? (A / B)*, supporting statements such as “A is 10% of B” or “B is 7 times larger than A”. In the dataset above, \`year\` is a quantitative interval field (the value of year "zero" is subjective), whereas \`fertility\` and \`life_expect\` are quantitative ratio fields (zero is meaningful for calculating proportions). Vega-Lite represents quantitative data, but does not make a distinction between interval and ratio types. Quantitative values can be visualized using position, size, or color value, among other channels. An axis with a zero baseline is essential for proportional comparisons of ratio values, but can be safely omitted for interval comparisons. `30:T467,md`

## Encoding Channels At the heart of Vega-Lite is the use of *encodings* that bind data fields (with a given data type) to available encoding *channels* of a chosen *mark* type. In this notebook we'll examine the following encoding channels: - \`x\`: Horizontal (x-axis) position of the mark. - \`y\`: Vertical (y-axis) position of the mark. - \`size\`: Size of the mark. May correspond to area or length, depending on the mark type. - \`color\`: Mark color, specified as a [legal CSS color](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/color_value). - \`opacity\`: Mark opacity, ranging from 0 (fully transparent) to 1 (fully opaque). - \`shape\`: Plotting symbol shape for \`point\` marks. - \`tooltip\`: Tooltip text to display upon mouse hover over the mark. - \`order\`: Mark ordering, determines line/area point order and drawing order. - \`column\`: Facet the data into horizontally-aligned subplots. - \`row\`: Facet the data into vertically-aligned subplots. For a complete list of available channels, see the [Vega-Lite encoding documentation](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/encoding.html). `31:T44c,md`

## Graphical Marks Our exploration of encoding channels above exclusively uses \`point\` marks to visualize the data. However, the \`point\` mark type is only one of the many geometric shapes that can be used to visually represent data. Vega-Lite includes a number of built-in mark types, including: - \`markArea()\` - Filled areas defined by a top-line and a baseline. - \`markBar()\` - Rectangular bars. - \`markCircle()\` - Scatter plot points as filled circles. - \`markLine()\` - Connected line segments. - \`markPoint()\` - Scatter plot points with configurable shapes. - \`markRect()\` - Filled rectangles, useful for heatmaps. - \`markRule()\` - Vertical or horizontal lines spanning the axis. - \`markSquare()\` - Scatter plot points as filled squares. - \`markText()\` - Scatter plot points represented by text. - \`markTick()\` - Vertical or horizontal tick marks. For a complete list, see the [Vega-Lite mark documentation](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/mark.html). Next, we will step through a number of the most commonly used mark types for statistical graphics. `32:T479,md` - The systematic study of marks, visual encodings, and backing data types was initiated by [Jacques Bertin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Bertin) in his pioneering 1967 work [_Sémiologie Graphique (The Semiology of Graphics)_](https://books.google.com/books/about/Semiology_of_Graphics.html?id=X5caQwAACAAJ). The image above illustrates position, size, value (brightness), texture, color (hue), orientation, and shape channels, alongside Bertin's recommendations for the data type comparisons they support. - The framework of data types, marks, and channels also guides _automated_ visualization design tools, starting with [Mackinlay's APT (A Presentation Tool)](https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=10191273548472217907) in 1986 and continuing in more recent systems such as [Voyager](http://idl.cs.washington.edu/papers/voyager/) and [Draco](http://idl.cs.washington.edu/papers/draco/). - The identification of nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio types dates at least as far back as S. S. Steven's 1947 article [_On the theory of scales of measurement_](https://scholar.google.com/scholar?cluster=14356809180080326415). `33:[{"id":"14fd7096bb10a9edbcd7b2b1a7151183e0fb2aa4de3798017d0137363c3f490b4f572d8958eb8b16ffdd7cf3e6d7b176060c19d7056688e1cb1d2d99d8f16bb6","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/14fd7096bb10a9edbcd7b2b1a7151183e0fb2aa4de3798017d0137363c3f490b4f572d8958eb8b16ffdd7cf3e6d7b176060c19d7056688e1cb1d2d99d8f16bb6","name":"download (5).png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1742911684732.299,"size":50517},{"id":"d929bfa209c3f264fd83df7e0b9c860eefdd5bc2bcd46e80564265628629fdf2fe78861c710c2c435f8f070ba6bed1e7be8a368bf1946b12d5866600765418c1","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/d929bfa209c3f264fd83df7e0b9c860eefdd5bc2bcd46e80564265628629fdf2fe78861c710c2c435f8f070ba6bed1e7be8a368bf1946b12d5866600765418c1","name":"download (6).png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1742911684732.299,"size":66732},{"id":"75037d6e7fa38befcdf7ed8770041a6a069339dba2f9b61efc6a19744961df4182bd4a4276811df12268a5a9a163a69bd8c56a6d5b3f0e9881d651f4df3e6fa8","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/75037d6e7fa38befcdf7ed8770041a6a069339dba2f9b61efc6a19744961df4182bd4a4276811df12268a5a9a163a69bd8c56a6d5b3f0e9881d651f4df3e6fa8","name":"download (9).png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1742911684732.299,"size":40144},{"id":"9110c7977e980604a5ed14eb7d8df0cc142b506f12729d4e5ddb4275a387c97d5b14538d6319893c4f60e67a0ba743fe5ca5b3b4e043963d04a288e689a1a402","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/9110c7977e980604a5ed14eb7d8df0cc142b506f12729d4e5ddb4275a387c97d5b14538d6319893c4f60e67a0ba743fe5ca5b3b4e043963d04a288e689a1a402","name":"download (7).png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1742911684732.299,"size":19865},{"id":"45bd7a593d925ecddb77e7f3f3391072d0a1a65ef2ff1689946231a8c54a3afc53fc0565e4e46f8e3d70714fdbe21f29386f35624d24eb2cf7d093174decc78e","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/45bd7a593d925ecddb77e7f3f3391072d0a1a65ef2ff1689946231a8c54a3afc53fc0565e4e46f8e3d70714fdbe21f29386f35624d24eb2cf7d093174decc78e","name":"download (8).png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1742911684732.299,"size":36184},{"id":"38d59aff5e1d5b9a0024925597d897c05c78d938c89e7cb38e225e20853b8ff3a144e53015db7536711885c932efa901a67251f122f2d60840d8cddf39403e4d","href":"https://static.observableusercontent.com/files/38d59aff5e1d5b9a0024925597d897c05c78d938c89e7cb38e225e20853b8ff3a144e53015db7536711885c932efa901a67251f122f2d60840d8cddf39403e4d","name":"Screen Shot 2020-09-06 at 3.43.59 AM.png","type":"image/png","lastModified":1742911684732.299,"size":109965}] 2d:{"title":"Lab2.1 - VegaLite - Data Types, Graphical Marks, and Visual Encoding Channels","cells":[{"id":0,"value":"# Lab2.1 - VegaLite - Data Types, Graphical Marks, and Visual Encoding Channels","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md"},{"id":6,"value":"md`\nA visualization represents data using a collection of _graphical marks_ such as bars, lines, and point symbols.
