vega-lite

This looks really slick! I was building something similar, so visuals are re-useable artifacts that external services know how to render, where we ask agents in whatever the interface is, slack, team's other agentic harnesses etc. and the agents receive the spec from the service, in this case dbt charts. if there was a unified spec that was agreed upon these third-party harnesses and apps would all speak the same charting language which would be super cool. I haven't read through it in detail but how does this differ from something like https://github.com/vega/vega-lite

The cli only produces vega-lite[0] json graphics, right? It would be nice if it included a rendering engine. [0]: https://github.com/vega/vega-lite

Box zoom would need to be added to Vega-Lite first, and there has been some discussion around it in https://github.com/vega/vega-lite/issues/4742. Bottom line is that there's nothing blocking its implementation, someone just needs to do the work in Vega-Lite. And once released in Vega-Lite, Altair would pick it up automatically with how we generate the Altair API from the Vega-Lite schema.

In https://github.com/vega/vega-lite/issues/408#issuecomment-50... Leland Wilkinson himself said “having gone through a lot of these GG-inspired systems, I believe yours is the most authentic implementation. I'm using it every day. Thanks for all the great work you've done.”

VizGPT provides a chat interface to make and edit data visualizations. Not only can it create visualization with natural language query, but you can continue transform or edit your visualization in context. You can build complex visualization with chatting step by step instead of design a large prompt at once. There exist lots of great visualization product in the world, such as tableau, pygwalker. Traditional drag-and-drop visualization tool is hard to use for people who are not familiar with configs and viz/data transformations. For example, making a heatmap in tableau requires to make bin transformations to both axis, and then drag the measure to color. It is hard for people who are not familiar with data visualization to make a heatmap. Some text2viz tools accepts natural language to generate visualization. However, they are not flexi
