- mbostock 3y agoSee Leland Wilkinson’s The Grammar of Graphics. He describes the difference between a chart typology (a fixed set of chart types with a fixed set of configuration options) and a grammar of graphics (a set of orthogonal primitives that can be composed in arbitrary ways).
- Optimal_Persona 3y agoWilkinson inspired Hadley Wickham to articulate a Layered Grammar of Graphics embodied in his ggplot R visualization package. https://vita.had.co.nz/papers/layered-grammar.html https://vita.had.co.nz/papers/layered-grammar.html
