If you’re primarily interested in static charts (or your interactivity is driven by external controls, such as drop-downs and sliders, where you can regenerate the chart as needed for interaction), then Plot is ready for use. On the other hand if you need direct manipulation interaction, such as brushing or painting dots in a scatterplot, then you might stick with Vega-Lite for now.
We’re working on tooltips now, and interaction next. There’s a PR here with an early sketch and demo video: https://github.com/observablehq/plot/pull/721 https://github.com/observablehq/plot/pull/721
- derekperkins 3y agoThat PR was created 15 months ago. Any rough idea when we might expect tooltips to be available?
- mbostock 3y agoI expect we’ll release tooltips in a few weeks; I linked that newer PR in another comment. We’ve been exploring interaction while working on many other things (https://github.com/observablehq/plot/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md https://github.com/observablehq/plot/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md). Now that we’re feeling good about the foundation for static charts we are starting to address interaction.
- derekperkins 3y agoThanks, and we're very excited!
