Mirror, mirror on the wall, what’s the most declarative dataviz programming language of all? :-)
*** SAS SCATTER MATRIX EXAMPLE ***
proc sgscatter data=sashelp.cars;
matrix Horsepower Acceleration Miles_per_Gallon / group=Origin;
*** ALTAIR SCATTER MARIX EXAMPLE ***
import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

- lcvriend 3y agoWell, there also is for example `pandas.plotting.scatter_matrix()` [1] which is built on top of matplotlib. I suppose the question is how does SAS or any other alternative compare to vega/altair when the desired output is less standard.

- joelostblom 3y agoIf you are interested in similar shortcuts for repeated charts in Altair, I'm experimenting a bit with such a syntax in the package altair-ally https://joelostblom.github.io/altair_ally/examples.html https://joelostblom.github.io/altair_ally/examples.html. Feel free to try it out and leave feedback! (disclaimer: I'm a co-maintainer of Altair)
