25:["$","title",null,{"children":"Vega-Lite Chart Types | ODUCS Vis | Observable"}] 49:T472,md`# Vega-Lite Chart Types _Many of these examples are drawn from Vega-Lite’s own [examples gallery](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples). And for a more thorough and formal introduction, be sure to check out University of Washington Interactive Data Lab’s [Data Types, Graphical Marks, and Visual Encoding Channels](https://observablehq.com/@uwdata/data-types-graphical-marks-and-visual-encoding-channels?collection=@uwdata/visualization-curriculum)._ Previously, we looked at how to quickly make a few simple charts with Vega-Lite. We’re going to expand on that with several different types of charts and pick up a few tricks as we go. With Vega-Lite, it’s useful to think less of “chart type” and more of “what ‘mark’ am I trying to make?” where a [mark](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/mark.html) is the shape you’re drawing with. These marks turn out to be more generic and reusable than you’d think. For example, a circle can be used in a scatter chart, sized differently to create a [bubble chart](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_chart), or placed at geographical coordinates in a map.
