You’ve probably heard of the most famous implementation of the grammar of graphics: it’s ggplot2 and it is a graphics library for the R language.

But if you are a Pythonista you don’t need to feel left out. Altair implements a (somewhat different) grammar of graphics as defined by Vega-Lite and you can create very nice charts and plots with it.

Read an introduction to Altair, by clicking on the link below (no paywall).
