Predicate for triggering the condition

typeStandardType

The encoded field’s type of measurement ( "quantitative", "temporal", "ordinal", or "nominal" ). It can also be a "geojson" type for encoding ‘geoshape’.

Note:

• 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 ).

• 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.

• When using with bin, the type property can be either "quantitative" (for using a linear bin scale) or “ordinal” (for using an ordinal bin scale).

• When using with timeUnit, the type property can be either "temporal" (for using a temporal scale) or “ordinal” (for using an ordinal scale).

• When using with aggregate, the type property refers to the post-aggregation data type. For example, we can calculate count distinct of a categorical field "cat" using {"aggregate": "distinct", "field": "cat", "type": "quantitative"}. The "type" of the aggregate output is "quantitative".

• Secondary channels (e.g., x2, y2, xError, yError ) do not have type as they have exactly the same type as their primary channels (e.g., x, y ).

See also: type documentation.

aggregateAggregate

Aggregation function for the field (e.g., "mean", "sum", "median", "min", "max", "count" ).

Default value: undefined (None)

See also: aggregate documentation.

binanyOf(boolean, BinParams, None)

A flag for binning a quantitative field, an object defining binning parameters, or indicating that the data for x or y channel are binned before they are imported into Vega-Lite ( "binned" ).

If true, default binning parameters will be applied.

If "binned", this indicates that the data for the x (or y ) channel are already binned. You can map the bin-start field to x (or y ) and the bin-end field to x2 (or y2 ). The scale and axis will be formatted similar to binning in Vega-Lite. To adjust the axis ticks based on the bin step, you can also set the axis’s tickMinStep property.

Default value: false

See also: bin documentation.

fieldField

Required. A string defining the name of the field from which to pull a data value or an object defining iterated values from the repeat operator.

See also: field documentation.

Notes: 1) Dots ( . ) and brackets ( [ and ] ) can be used to access nested objects (e.g., "field": "foo.bar" and "field": "foo['bar']" ). If field names contain dots or brackets but are not nested, you can use \ to escape dots and brackets (e.g., "a\.b" and "a\[0\]" ). See more details about escaping in the field documentation. 2) field is not required if aggregate is count.

legendanyOf(Legend, None)

An object defining properties of the legend. If null, the legend for the encoding channel will be removed.

Default value: If undefined, default legend properties are applied.

See also: legend documentation.

scaleanyOf(Scale, None)

An object defining properties of the channel’s scale, which is the function that transforms values in the data domain (numbers, dates, strings, etc) to visual values (pixels, colors, sizes) of the encoding channels.

If null, the scale will be disabled and the data value will be directly encoded.

Default value: If undefined, default scale properties are applied.

See also: scale documentation.

sortSort

Sort order for the encoded field.

For continuous fields (quantitative or temporal), sort can be either "ascending" or "descending".

For discrete fields, sort can be one of the following:

• "ascending" or "descending" – for sorting by the values’ natural order in JavaScript.

• A string indicating an encoding channel name to sort by (e.g., "x" or "y" ) with an optional minus prefix for descending sort (e.g., "-x" to sort by x-field, descending). This channel string is short-form of a sort-by-encoding definition. For example, "sort": "-x" is equivalent to "sort": {"encoding": "x", "order": "descending"}.

• A sort field definition for sorting by another field.

• An array specifying the field values in preferred order. In this case, the sort order will obey the values in the array, followed by any unspecified values in their original order. For discrete time field, values in the sort array can be date-time definition objects. In addition, for time units "month" and "day", the values can be the month or day names (case insensitive) or their 3-letter initials (e.g., "Mon", "Tue" ).

• null indicating no sort.

Default value: "ascending"

Note: null and sorting by another channel is not supported for row and column.

See also: sort documentation.

timeUnitanyOf(TimeUnit, TimeUnitParams)

Time unit (e.g., year, yearmonth, month, hours ) for a temporal field. or a temporal field that gets casted as ordinal.

Default value: undefined (None)

See also: timeUnit documentation.

titleanyOf(Text, None)

A title for the field. If null, the title will be removed.

Default value: derived from the field’s name and transformation function ( aggregate, bin and timeUnit ). If the field has an aggregate function, the function is displayed as part of the title (e.g., "Sum of Profit" ). If the field is binned or has a time unit applied, the applied function is shown in parentheses (e.g., "Profit (binned)", "Transaction Date (year-month)" ). Otherwise, the title is simply the field name.

Notes :

1) You can customize the default field title format by providing the fieldTitle property in the config or fieldTitle function via the compile function’s options.

2) If both field definition’s title and axis, header, or legend title are defined, axis/header/legend title will be used.

copy(self, deep=True, ignore=())

Return a copy of the object

Parameters

deepboolean or list, optional

If True (default) then return a deep copy of all dict, list, and SchemaBase objects within the object structure. If False, then only copy the top object. If a list or iterable, then only copy the listed attributes.

ignorelist, optional

A list of keys for which the contents should not be copied, but only stored by reference.

classmethod from_dict(dct, validate=True, _wrapper_classes=None)

Construct class from a dictionary representation

Parameters

dctdictionary

The dict from which to construct the class

validateboolean

If True (default), then validate the input against the schema.

_wrapper_classeslist (optional)

The set of SchemaBase classes to use when constructing wrappers of the dict inputs. If not specified, the result of cls._default_wrapper_classes will be used.

Returns

objSchema object

The wrapped schema

Raises

jsonschema.ValidationError :

if validate=True and dct does not conform to the schema

classmethod from_json(json_string, validate=True, **kwargs)

Instantiate the object from a valid JSON string

Parameters

json_stringstring

The string containing a valid JSON chart specification.
