Tableplot, our #Clojure library for easy layered #grammarofgraphics, has made some progress recently.

scicloj.github.io/tableplot/

Among other things, it now has new, detailed documentation for its #plotly API.

#Tableplot is a #Clojure #datavis library inspired by #rstats #ggplot2 layered #grammarofgraphics.

It now supports some new plot types using @plotly.com, and the documentation has been improved following user feedback in #Scicloj community meetings and Zulip chat.

So much easier to draft and tweak Typst figure (using Gribouille) for TidyTuesday, when working in a Quarto document.

Streamgraph with pattern filling! 😎
Gribouille 0.5.0 release in progress ...

#Typst #DataViz #GrammarOfGraphics
A four-series streamgraph, each band flowing left to right and centred on a common baseline so the stack swells and narrows over time, every band filled with its own Typst tiling pattern (stripes, dots, cross-hatch, and horizontal lines).

Steady progress on the grammar of graphics in Typst: a single combined legend for colour, fill, and shape, plus OLS fits with confidence bands and mean ± SD error bars layered straight onto the scatter.

#Typst #PalmerPenguins #GrammarOfGraphics
Screenshot of VS Code displaying penguins.typ source on the left and a rendered preview on the right. The preview shows a scatter plot titled "Penguins Dataset" with subtitle "Flipper length vs body mass by species", plotting flipper length (mm) on the x-axis (180 to 230) against body mass (g) on the y-axis (3000 to 6000). Three species are distinguished by colour and shape: Adelie as orange circles, Chinstrap as teal triangles, and Gentoo as purple squares, each with a fitted linear regression line and shaded confidence band. Mean plus or minus standard deviation error bars are overlaid for each species, and the Gribouille logo sits in the bottom-right corner with the caption "Data from Palmer Archipelago (Antarctica) penguin dataset".

Densities and violin plots are coming to Gribouille🎉

#Typst #GrammarOfGraphics #dataViz
Figure showing two groups on the x-axis (a and b) divided in two by fill colour (u in yellow, and v in blue), with a y-axis ranging from zero to ten by a step of two. For x/fill groups there are four violion plots

New #Gribouille showcase for #TidyTuesday

m.canouil.dev/tidytuesday/...

#Typst #Quarto #GrammarOfGraphics #QuartoPub
Two panels. Panel (A) is a two-line chart of mean months of statutory leave reserved for each parent across 21 European countries from 1970 to 2024, each line wrapped in a shaded band of plus or minus one standard error: the blue mothers line rises from about 14 months to a peak above 21 around 2010 then eases to roughly 18, while the vermillion co-parent line sits near zero until 2000 and climbs to about 5 months by 2024, and the mothers band is consistently wider. Panel (B) is a dumbbell chart, a 2024 snapshot of all 21 countries, each shown as a blue mothers dot and a vermillion co-parent dot joined by a grey bar whose length is the gap; countries are sorted with the smallest gaps on top, where Spain, Slovakia and the United Kingdom reach parity, down to Ireland with the widest gap at the bottom.

More accessibility tools for your figures coming in Gribouille for Typst.

Add filling patterns in addition to colours.

"as-factor" and "as-numeric" helpers and some basic statistics. ✔

#Typst #GrammarOfGraphics
A screenshot of a documentation page titled "Your first plot." The left side shows a code block in Typst syntax using the 'gribouille' package, defining a small 'mtcars' dataset and calling '#plot()' with 'geom-point' and 'geom-smooth' layers using a minimal theme. The right side displays the resulting scatter plot of car weight ('wt') against fuel efficiency ('mpg'), with points and linear regression lines coloured by number of cylinders (blue for 4, green for 6, red for 8), including a shaded confidence interval band around the 6-cylinder regression line.

This week #TidyTuesday in Typst using Gribouille (Grammar of graphics).

m.canouil.dev/tidytuesday/...

#Typst #Gribouille #grammarofGraphics #dataViz
Scatter plot of theatrical video-game film adaptations with the Rotten Tomatoes critics' score on the x axis and worldwide box office on a logarithmic y axis from 100 thousand to 1 billion US dollars. A shaded band marks the zone left of the 60 percent 'fresh' line where films still gross past 100 million dollars, and many markers sit inside it. The Super Mario Bros. Movie tops the chart near 1.4 billion dollars at 59 percent, with Sonic the Hedgehog 3 the best reviewed at 86 percent and Detective Pikachu also labelled, and Postal by Uwe Boll at the bottom; these four labelled films are circled in teal. Marker size encodes the production budget, fill colour encodes box office divided by budget on a vermillion-to-teal scale pivoting at break-even, and marker shape splits films released before 2019 (circles) from those released 2019 onward (squares). An inset dumbbell in the top-left shows the mean critics' score at 33 far below the mean audience CinemaScore at 76.

The next version of Gribouilles comes with few API breaking changes for the better (validation especially).
It also comes with new position/stats helpers to make: steamgraph, waffle, bump chart, and difference area chart.

#Typst #Gribouille #GrammarOfGraphics #ggplot2
Streamgraph of three coloured bands on a wiggle-minimising baseline, flowing organically around the zero line over x = 0 to 11. Band between a rising forecast series and a wavering actuals series, filled by 'above forecast' and 'below forecast' legend entries, with both series drawn as lines over the band. Waffle chart of 77 unit squares in a 7-row grid, coloured by status: 43 complete, 22 active, 12 queued, reading column by column from the left. Bump chart of three teams' ranks over five rounds; smooth S-shaped connectors ease each team between rank positions, with rank 1 at the top.

This was heavy work for "only" a pie chart (I know ... why?!)

#Typst #GrammarOfGraphics
A pie chart titled "Revenue share" displaying five regional segments. The EU region (blue) is the largest slice, positioned at the top right. The US region (green) is the second largest, at the bottom right. The APAC region (red) occupies the bottom left. The LATAM region (orange) is a smaller slice on the left. The Other region (cyan) fills the top left. Axis labels read "value" on the left and "slice" at the bottom, with radial tick marks at 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100/0. A legend in the top right lists all five regions with their corresponding colours.

Let's say you are working on a Typst project and wanted to create the documentation without having to change the working directory to handle the extensions such as "Typst Render" 😇

#Typst #Quarto #QuartoPub #GrammarOfGraphics
VS Code window displaying the Gribouille 0.0.1 Quarto extension project. The left sidebar lists project files under the gribouille repository. The main area shows a browser preview of the Gribouille documentation homepage, featuring the logo, navigation tabs (Home, Get Started, Reference, Examples, Changelog), the tagline "A layered grammar of graphics for Typst", a short description mentioning ggplot2 and plotnine, "Get Started" and "View on GitHub" buttons, and a faceted scatter plot of Palmer penguins. The bottom panel shows the Quarto Wizard extensions list with mcanouil/typst-render 0.13.0 selected.
