Method Summary
Modifier and TypeMethodDescriptionSets the alignment to apply to row/column facet's subplot.bin
(boolean flag) Turns on/off binning a quantitative field.Indicates that the data for x or y channel are binned before they are imported into Vega-Lite.center
(boolean flag) Sets if facet's subviews should be centered relative to their respective rows or columns.Sets the header of facet.spacing
(double spacing) Sets the spacing in pixels between facet's sub-views.spacing
(int columns) For the facet channel, sets the number of columns to include in the view composition layout.Sets the time unit for a temporal field.Returns the specification in pretty print.toString()
Sets the field's type of measurement.

Method Details
-
toString
-
toPrettyString
Returns the specification in pretty print.- Returns:
- the specification in pretty print.
-
type
Sets the field's type of measurement.- Parameters:
type
- The encoded field's type of measurement ("quantitative", "temporal", "ordinal", or "nominal"). It can also be a "geojson" type for encoding ‘geoshape'.Data type describes the semantics of the data rather than the primitive data types (number, string, etc.). The same primitive data type can have different types of measurement. For example, numeric data can represent quantitative, ordinal, or nominal data.
Data values for a temporal field can be either a date-time string (e.g., "2015-03-07 12:32:17", "17:01", "2015-03-16", "2015") or a timestamp number (e.g., 1552199579097).
- Returns:
- this object.
-
bin
Turns on/off binning a quantitative field.- Parameters:
flag
- If true, default binning parameters will be applied.- Returns:
- this object.
-
bin
Indicates that the data for x or y channel are binned before they are imported into Vega-Lite.- Parameters:
bin
- it should be set to "binned".- Returns:
- this object.
-
timeUnit
Sets the time unit for a temporal field. Vega-Lite supports the following time units:"year" - Gregorian calendar years. "quarter" - Three-month intervals, starting in one of January, April, July, and October. "month" - Calendar months (January, February, etc.). "date" - Calendar day of the month (January 1, January 2, etc.). "week" - Sunday-based weeks. Days before the first Sunday of the year are considered to be in week 0, the first Sunday of the year is the start of week 1, the second Sunday week 2, etc. "day" - Day of the week (Sunday, Monday, etc.). "dayofyear" - Day of the year (1, 2, …, 365, etc.). "hours" - Hours of the day (12:00am, 1:00am, etc.). "minutes" - Minutes in an hour (12:00, 12:01, etc.). "seconds" - Seconds in a minute (12:00:00, 12:00:01, etc.). "milliseconds" - Milliseconds in a second.
- Parameters:
timeUnit
- Time unit.- Returns:
- this object.
-
header
Sets the header of facet.- Parameters:
title
- the header text.- Returns:
- this object.
-
align
Sets the alignment to apply to row/column facet's subplot. For "none", a flow layout will be used, in which adjacent subviews are simply placed one after the other.For "each", subviews will be aligned into a clean grid structure, but each row or column may be of variable size.
For "all", subviews will be aligned and each row or column will be sized identically based on the maximum observed size. String values for this property will be applied to both grid rows and columns.
- Parameters:
alignment
- "all", "each", or "none".- Returns:
- this object.
-
center
Sets if facet's subviews should be centered relative to their respective rows or columns.- Parameters:
flag
- A flag indicating if facet's subviews should be centered relative to their respective rows or columns.- Returns:
- this object.
-
spacing
Sets the spacing in pixels between facet's sub-views.- Parameters:
spacing
- the spacing in pixels between facet's sub-views.- Returns:
- this object.
-
spacing
For the facet channel, sets the number of columns to include in the view composition layout.- Parameters:
columns
- the number of columns to include in the view composition layout.- Returns:
- this object.
