The -- grammar provides an expressive way to define how data are -- represented graphically. The seven key elements of the grammar as -- represented in hvega and Vega-Lite are: -- -- [@Data@]: The input to visualize. Example functions: 'dataFromUrl', 'dataFromColumns', and 'dataFromRows'. -- -- [@Transform@]: Functions to change the data before they are visualized. Example functions: 'filter', 'calculateAs', and 'binAs'. These functions are combined with 'transform'. -- -- [@Projection@]: The mapping of 3d global geospatial locations onto a 2d plane . Example function: 'projection'. -- -- [@Mark@]: The visual symbol, or symbols, that represent the data. Example types, used with 'mark': 'Line', 'Circle', 'Bar', 'Text', and 'Geoshape'. There are also ways to specify the shape to use for the 'Point' type, using the 'MShape' setting and the 'Symbol' type. -- -- [@Encoding@]: The specification of which data elements are mapped to which mark characteristics (commonly known as channels). Example functions: 'position', 'shape', 'size', and 'color'. These encodings are combined with 'encoding'. -- -- [@Scale@]: Descriptions of the way encoded marks represent the data. Example settings: 'SDomain', 'SPadding', and 'SInterpolate'. -- -- [@Guides@]: Supplementary visual elements that support interpreting the visualization. Example setings: 'AxDomain' (for position encodings) and 'LeTitle' (for legend color, size, and shape encodings). -- -- In common with other languages that build upon a grammar of graphics -- such as D3 and Vega, this grammar allows fine grain control of -- visualization design. Unlike those languages, Vega-Lite - and -- hvega in turn - provide practical default specifications for most of the -- grammar, allowing for a much more compact high-level form of -- expression. -- -- The [Vega-Lite Example Gallery](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/) -- provides a large-number of example visualizations that show off -- the capabilities of Vega-Lite. Hopefully, by the end of this -- tutorial, you will be able to create most of them. -- $intro-extensions -- The 'Graphics.Vega.VegaLite' module is long, but does not use any -- complex type machinery, and so it can be loaded without any extensions, -- although the extensive use of the 'Data.Text.Text' type means that -- using the @OverloadedStrings@ extension is __strongly__ advised. -- -- The module does export several types that conflict with the Prelude, -- so one suggestion is to use -- -- > import Prelude hiding (filter, lookup, repeat) -- $intro-type-safety -- The interface provided by @hvega@ provides __limited__ type safety. Various -- fields such as 'PmType' are limited by the type of the argument (in this -- case 'Measurement'), but there's no support to check that the type makes -- sense for the particular column (as @hvega@ itself does not inspect the -- data source). Similarly, @hvega@ does not stop you from defining -- properties that are not valid for a given situation - for instance -- you can say @'toVegaLite' []@ even though the output is not a -- valid Vega-Lite specification (i.e. it does not validate against -- the [Vega-Lite schema](https://github.com/vega/schema)). -- $compare-to-elm -- @hvega@ started out as a direct copy of -- [elm-vegalite](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/gicentre/elm-vegalite/latest), -- and has been updated to try and match the functionality of that package. -- However, @hvega@ has not (yet?) followed @elm-vegalite@ into using -- functions rather than data structures to define the options: for -- example, @elm-vegalite@ provides @pQuant n@ which in @hvega@ is the -- combination of @'PName' n@ and @'PmType' 'Quantitative'@ in @hvega@. -- The top-level functions - such as 'dataFromUrl', 'encoding', and -- 'filter' - are generally the same. -- $datasource -- Rather than use the Seattle weather dataset, used in the Elm walkthrough -- (if you go through the [Vega-Lite Example Gallery](https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/) -- you may also want to look at different data ;-), I am going to use a -- small datset from the [Gaia satellite](http://sci.esa.int/gaia/), -- which has - and still is, as of Summer 2019 - radically-improved our knowledge -- of our Galaxy. The data itself is from the paper -- \"Gaia Data Release 2: Observational Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams\" -- [preprint on arXiV](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.09378) -- [NASA ADS link](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/#abs/arXiv:1804.09378). -- We are going to use Table 1a, which was downloaded from the -- [VizieR archive](http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-3?-source=J/A%2bA/616/A10/tablea1a) -- as a tab-separated file (aka 'TSV' format). -- -- The file contains basic measurements for a number of stars in -- nine open clusters that all lie within 250 parsecs of the Earth -- (please note, a parsec is a measure of distance, not time, no matter -- what [some ruggedly-handsome ex-carpenter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Solo) -- might claim). The downloaded file is called -- @gaia-aa-616-a10-table1a.no-header.tsv@, although I have -- manually edited it to a \"more standard\" TSV form (we Astronomers like -- our metadata, and tend to stick it in inappropriate places, such as the -- start of comma- and tab-separated files, which really mucks up -- other-people's parsing code).

In this case I am going to pick the "@plx@" column: <<images/vl/stripplot.png>> <https://vega.github.io/editor/#/url/vega-lite/N4KABGBEC2CGBOBrSAuKAXAlgY2QGnCgBNZ1ZUxQIJIBXeAGwsgAt10AHAZxQHpf4sAO4A6AOaZ0LWgCNaXAKbxsAewB26BRpGrovACIraYgEL1EC3iwBuCsbF5wum+Fdv3eJMr3uZYAWlgAgDYARmDA0IAGfzIZBgVQ2BE1FX8WBVgiJRF0LmtIAmooADMVeDh0CmBIdABPDgVmPIKAX0JWoqgAEi5sDLhmNk4efndkiSlZEUwVXj6Bh3H-BklLawBmEQArLnVCwkgtVSJMNTFqyAAPS5LMBQYiZg4GG7wMBqa0SABHWlgNJJSJhbJBWp1Dqo1HcLmhgO1WkA Open this visualization in the Vega Editor> @ 'toVegaLite' [ 'dataFromUrl' "https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/DougBurke\/hvega\/master\/hvega\/data\/gaia-aa-616-a10-table1a.no-header.tsv" ['TSV'] , 'mark' 'Tick' [] , 'encoding' ('position' 'X' [ 'PName' "plx", 'PmType' 'Quantitative' ] []) ] @ Notice how there is __no explicit definition__ of the axis details, color choice or size. These can be customised, as shown in examples below, but the default values are designed to follow good practice in visualization design. Three grammar elements are represented by the three functions 'dataFromUrl', 'mark', and 'encoding'. The 'encoding' function takes as a single parameter, a list of specifications that are themselves generated by other functions. In this case we use the function 'position' to provide an encoding of the @\"plx\"@ field as the x-position in our plot. The precise way in which the data value (parallax) is mapped to the x-position will depend on the type of data we are encoding. We can provide a hint by delcaring the measurement type of the data field, here 'Quantitative' indicating a numeric measurement type. The final parameter of position is a list of any additional encodings in our specification. Here, with only one encoding, we provide an empty list. As we build up more complex visualizations we will use many more encodings. To keep the coding clear, the idiomatic way to do this with hvega is to chain encoding functions using point-free style. The example above coded in this way would be @ let enc = encoding . position X [ PName "plx", PmType Quantitative ] in toVegaLite [ dataFromUrl "https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/DougBurke\/hvega\/master\/hvega\/data\/gaia-aa-616-a10-table1a.no-header.tsv" [TSV] , mark Tick [] , enc [] ] @ -} stripPlot :: VegaLite stripPlot = toVegaLite [ dataFromUrl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DougBurke/hvega/master/hvega/data/gaia-aa-616-a10-table1a.no-header.tsv" [TSV] , mark Tick [] , encoding (position X [ PName "plx", PmType Quantitative ] []) ] -- $background-note -- The default background color for the visualization, at least in the -- Vega-Embed PNG and SVG output, is transparent. In many cases this is -- perfectly fine, but an explicit color can be specified using the -- 'Background' configuration option. {-| The 'configure' function allows a large number of configuration options to be configured, each one introduced by the 'configuration' function. Here I set the color to be a light gray (actually a very-transparent black; the 'Color' type describes the various supported color specifications, but it is generally safe to assume that if you can use it in HTML then you can use it here). <<images/vl/stripplotwithbackground.png>> <https://vega.github.io/editor/#/url/vega-lite/N4KABGBEDGD2B2AzAlgc0gLjMSAjAhtANaoBOsArvACaZSmoEAUADADRjuccsB0AjAEpIAXzbgoAW3ykidSABdkxSOIiRq+BfjqgI6iqQA28gBYKFABwDOGAPR3S+AO69UyBaYq4K1gKakcPAKfsG8cJJ2ACKUqABChkR+dqYAbn6o+HbS1iGkKemZdpradpnI+AC0+FUAbPy11fwsldq4Rn78+LzwsJWmfvjUAbwK1qmqEuqIsKTSCrqKAJ6WfvJjEyISYhKQACTW0APSZhY29naF3e6e3rzIsHaHx1lXlUYeyakAzLwAVtYEJN1KE4NRkPB0FgcAAPRYoPxGWhYSCWIxwjjLVbyACOFHwwQ8WmQ6VEWxEQA Open this visualization in the Vega Editor> @ let enc = encoding . position X [ PName \"plx\", PmType Quantitative ] conf = 'configure' .

What this is telling us is that for these star clusters, the distance to each member star is similar, and that they are generally at different distances from us. However, it's a bit hard to tell exactly what is going on around 5 to 6 milli arcseconds, as the clusters overlap here. This line of thinking leads us nicely to map making, but before we try some cartography, I wanted to briefly provide some context for these plots. The <https://lco.global/spacebook/distance/parallax-and-distance-measurement/ parallax of a star> is a measure of its distance from us, but it is an inverse relationship, so that nearer stars have a larger parallax than those further from us. The @Gmag@ column measures the apparent brightness of the star, with the @G@ part indicating what <https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/gaia/iow_20180316 part of the spectrum> is used (for Gaia, the @G@ band is pretty broad, covering much of the visible spectrum), and the @mag@ part is because optical Astronomy tends to use * <https://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-resources/the-stellar-magnitude-system/ the logarithm of the measured flux> * and then subtract this from a constant so that larger values mean fainter sources. These are also <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apparent_magnitude apparent magnitues>, so that they measure the flux of the star as measured at Earth, rather than its intrinsic luminosity (often defined as an object's <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_magnitude absolute magnitude>). We can see that the further the cluster is from us - that is, as we move down this graph to smaller parallax values - then the smallest stellar magnitude we can see in a cluster tends to increase, but that there are stars up to the maximum value (20) in each cluster. This information can be used to look at the distribution of absolute magnitudes of stars in a cluster, which tells us about its evolutionary state - such as is it newly formed or old - amongst other things. However, this is straying far from the aim of this tutorial, so lets get back to plotting things. -} pointPlot :: VegaLite pointPlot = let enc = encoding . position X [ PName "Gmag", PmType Quantitative ] . position Y [ PName "plx", PmType Quantitative, PScale scaleOpts ] . shape cluster . color cluster scaleOpts = [ SType ScLog, SDomain (DNumbers [3.5, 32]), SNice (IsNice False) ] cluster = [ MName "Cluster", MmType Nominal ] in toVegaLite [ gaiaData , mark Point [] , enc [] , width 400 , height 400 ] -- $intro-map -- We have some hint that the different clusters are distinct objects -- in space, in that they appear to be different distances from us, -- but where does the \"cluster\" in the name \"Stellar Cluster\" -- come from? Well, we can try plotting up the position of each star -- on the sky - using the @RA_ICRS@ and @DE_ICRS@ fields - to find out. {-| The following specification should only contain one new feature - other than sneakily switching from 'Point' to 'Circle' type for the mark - and that is displaying the x axis (namely Right Ascension) in reverse (using @'PSort' [ 'Descending' ]@. This is needed because Right Ascension is measured from right to left. I like to explain it by talking about oranges, and how we are at the center of an orange looking out at its skin, and so have the direction reversed to if you were outside, looking in. You can see that we also have one cluster that straddles the 0 and 360 degrees Right Ascension barrier, which will lead to some fun later. <<images/vl/posplot.png>> <https://vega.github.io/editor/#/url/vega-lite/N4KABGBEAWCmCWBzaAXSAuMBmADDgNOFALYCGATgNYZQDG85tANrJIRJACakqk2gQOAV3JMaMFCgAOAZ3QB6eeVIB3AHSJ4KaEIBGQmbEYB7AHYpY5tbWPF5AEWNDEAIRGVY86ADdYiUvJkMhbkXr7+8ty88v7wpAC0pAkAbACMyYmpOPG8uiyppGqmxvFwpJxGaigy3mxEHABmxuRkaJjAkFIUhvyQAOJkiOKmQsS6RmxQUkwAHsOj4+STkLAA+tNzmJAjYxMAvntEe+xQKvCc2jQALHgnkAAkMrRwZOKo0nKK4YWa2npq8GM8ieLwC33iTC0nm8WDUACsZGY6hxLDZOPBTEN2vU6MYmM1eg14LAmJxxABhJgGELLFAATykrC2xWIGNIYmOOMgmzAAkEjWJpPEACUAIKrACS5OFAGVkfyoE92UzeVxbKQMTQANoEbDJHAAXXwUFM8FoKoa7MMnIViuabSgFSelnRmPl-Mg9MZ4gAjkJSOYtDx4L53YJIKQZvAZL0UFoWCKkKgwKLnaYZIDTGAABQVRAASkgh35NvDdP4OIFJLJW3sAFFJdK5ScPUqE+01WRNZgtfEAJy6gdGk1mi1W2Clj1elWQP0BuO8OOhlvhyPR2Pxmf2WDMNlxsw5vOF4uCE+lyA2UxErG8w57IA Open this visualization in the Vega Editor> @ let enc = encoding . position X (axOpts \"RA_ICRS\" \"Right Ascension (deg)\" ++ [ raScale, 'PSort' [ 'Descending' ] ]) . position Y (axOpts \"DE_ICRS\" \"Declination (deg)\" ++ [ decScale ]) . color [ MName \"Cluster\", MmType Nominal ] axOpts field lbl = [ PName field, PmType Quantitative, PAxis [ AxTitle lbl ]] scaleOpts minVal maxVal = [ SDomain (DNumbers [ minVal, maxVal ]), SNice (IsNice False) ] raScale = PScale (scaleOpts 0 360) decScale = PScale (scaleOpts (-90) 90) in toVegaLite [ gaiaData , mark 'Circle' [] , enc [] , width 400 , height 300 ] @ We can see that these clusters are indeed localised on the sky, with <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyades_(star_cluster) Hyades> looking like it covers the largest area.

Here I use the 'Longitude' and 'Latitude' channels, along with a 'Mercator' 'projection', to display the data. The trick in this case is that longitude runs from -180 to 180 degrees, but the data has Right Ascension going from 0 to 360 degrees. We can take advantage of Vega Lite's __data transformation__ capabilities and create a new column - which I call @fakeLongitude@ - and is defined as "180 - Right Ascension". The "expression" support is essentially a sub-set of Javascript, and the @datum@ object refers to the current row. The new data column can then be used with the 'Longitude' channel. <<images/vl/skyplot.png>> <https://vega.github.io/editor/#/url/vega-lite/N4KABGBEAuBOCGA7AzgMwPawLaQFxgG1hJ5k8pV4BrAUwBl1EBzAS2gFcATGyAGigDG8ADYD2w+NB75IARgAcABjABaMJ0nssAOgBKAQQD6ASQDCugMqQAvgF1e4KFniwq5SAJawBwng4iQGtDw5KAQAeywwu4AFtDQAA7IuAD0KQgA7tqs0DHsAEbsyDTejFKI0NoC6FgpACLo7EwAQpG0KTEAbjRM8CnOyFKwHd29KUF9vSzwKvAzAGyy87OyiirB+b6y8NqI6CoxNPDcsNrQyJ18jgEY2JKhkAkuxQ8A4s5M7oha+SV8UAlhAAPL4-P78SA0QyAkEyb5YX6wGzWRzWfxQAAkyAEh2csXiSVSKVGOxyeXy2hY6BS2NxfRJKmEbBoxIAzNoAFbIRhXAIJWDoDk0ATQKmIB7QACeCWkThKQmgmBs6MhiGqnBYzFC10E6GESvwYXCNxYNGEnHcMN5xqg2JEsuItJoWFlkE6XhYGrIEKlMvc+s+aJ1AV9roAjuwkKLgqLupAdUHjZAJNGuA7IKhTeb3HUAKImcxWH3S8ORipsSQsOOJ8IwdB60UJB6Zs0WmSmYRFIb-GAlr41TUiZU65OMHJp5tZtsUaj0MdsCfFv0yCNRiuxngoiA1jyMTOfQ0o6xAA Open this visualization in the Vega Editor> @ let enc = encoding . position 'Longitude' (axOpts "fakeLongitude") . position 'Latitude' (axOpts \"DE_ICRS\") . color [ MName \"plx\" , MmType Quantitative , 'MScale' [ SType ScLog , 'SScheme' \"viridis\" [] ] ] .

Since parallax is a numeric value, with ordering (i.e. 'Quantitative'), the legend has changed from a list of symbols to a gradient bar. To account for this lost of information, I have added a 'tooltip' encoding so that when the pointer is moved over a star its cluster name will be displayed (this replaces the default behavior when all the encoded channels, so in this case the position and parallax values, would be displayed, and it is only visible in \"interactive\" versions of the visualization). From this visualization we can see that the apparent size of the cluster (if we approximate each cluster as a circle, then we can think of the radius of the circle as a measure of size) depends on parallax, with larger sizes having larger parallaxes. This is because the distance to a star is inversely-dependent on its parallax, so larger parallaxes mean the star is closer to us. However, there is no reason that the intrinsic size - that is its actual radius - of each cluster is the same. We can see that although the Hyades and Pleiades clusters overlap on the sky, they have significantly-different parallaxes (as can be seen in 'pointPlot' for example), with Hyades being the closer of the two. It is possible to add graticules - with the aptly-named 'graticule' function - but this appears to need to be done as a layer, which we haven't covered yet. I may get to it below, but am having teensy problems with getting it working in the Vega Lite viewer I use (the one provided with Jupyter notebook, which defaults to an earlier version of Vega-Lite support, which doesn't seem to like the more-recent capabilities of Vega Lite). -} skyPlot :: VegaLite skyPlot = let enc = encoding . position Longitude (axOpts "fakeLongitude") . position Latitude (axOpts "DE_ICRS") . color [ MName "plx" , MmType Quantitative , MScale [ SType ScLog , SScheme "viridis" [] ] ] . tooltip [ TName "Cluster", TmType Nominal ] axOpts field = [ PName field, PmType Quantitative ] trans = transform . calculateAs "180 - datum.RA_ICRS" "fakeLongitude" in toVegaLite [ projection [ PrType Mercator ] , gaiaData , trans [] , mark Circle [] , enc [] ] -- $intro-layered -- The Stacked-Histogram plot - created by 'gmagHistogramWithColor' - showed -- the distribution of the \"Gmag\" field by cluster, but it was hard to -- compare them.

To avoid repetition, and mistakes, I am going to introduce a helper function which creates the plot structure but without the selection definition, and then use that to build up the plots. The helper function, 'selectionProperties', takes two arguments, which are the selection name and the plot title. The selection name is used to identify the selection, as a visualization can support multiple selections, and the plot title has been added mainly to show some minor customization (the use of 'TOrient' to move the title to the bottom). The definition of this helper function is: @ selectionProps selName label = let posOpts field = [ PName field , PmType Quantitative , PScale [ 'SZero' False ] ] enc = encoding . position X (posOpts \"Gmag\") . position Y (posOpts \"plx\") . color [ 'MSelectionCondition' ('SelectionName' selName) [ MName \"Cluster\", MmType Nominal ] [ 'MString' "grey" ] ] . 'opacity' [ MSelectionCondition (SelectionName selName) [ 'MNumber' 1.0 ] [ MNumber 0.3 ] ] . 'size' [ MSelectionCondition (SelectionName selName) [ MNumber 40 ] [ MNumber 5 ] ] trans = transform . 'filter' ('FExpr' \"datum.DE_ICRS < -20\") in [ gaiaData , trans [] , mark Point [] , enc [] , title label [ TOrient SBottom ] ] @ The three non-selection-related features added here are that 'SZero' is used to tell Vega Lite that we do not need 0 displayed on either axis, which leads to a \"tight\" bounding box around the data, a 'filter' is used to select a subset of rows, namely only those with a declination less than -20 (via 'FExpr'), and the plot title is moved to the bottom with 'TOrient'. The main change is that the selection is used in the encoding section, identified by name, using 'SelectionName' and the supplied argument.

The 'InOptions' list is given the values of the Cluster column that can be selected: I start with a value not in the list (@none@) just to indicate that no values are selected, and then the list of clusters in this sub-sample (remembering that 'selectionProperties' applies a declination cut off). Eagle-eyed readers will note that the cluster names in this list (the @clusters@ variable) end in spaces: this is because the input data file has the cluster names stored in an eight-character field, even though it is a tab-separated file.

For this example we use all the clusters, rather than the subset of Southern ones. One trick I use is to convert the Right Ascension values (which have a domain of 0 to 360 degrees, and wrap around at the 0\/360 mark), into their cosine values (remembering to convert to radians first), and display that instead. This ensures the \"Blanco1\" cluster members are spatially co-located on this axis - with values close to 1 - rather than appearing near 0 and 360. <<images/vl/coordinatedviews.png>> <https://vega.github.io/editor/#/url/vega-lite/N4KABGBEBOCmAOsCGAXSAuMwYHsDuGYA2pAMY4DOASgIKQA0UAIgKID6AkgMJUDKkAXUZkcAGwCuAWwB2hEvFEAPBlADikpAHNBAX3rgoFRKUKgIESCmhJpFAGY5okuQfNZISCoRHU6w0kiipOKiqLDe5BQAFAAmqFIAdLScPLxgAFRgAAocYAD0YACMABwADACUkDquYEI1kBrQANYRAJbQpKLh+m6QcShIpjUW4tCi3gAWKCjwFOh5edZ4CZqtKBPiAEbiFLAdONIosIcJ5JJ5TDjimgBCo02weRMAbrCaSHkaFEfQT6-veX6H3erSQAFokOCAGyFKEQwqlMEDTZdQpIBLSHBgibIGJ7BIoCjPBjDKAOJyoIZuXrwJDQXamSDqLTeaRSTZ7FSQBTKTCQNmSDnQLmwNg81nsznValgaXmPT1XZdUgoVoHRnwVqkB4xRkoACeiG8rUOe2egSqCt6x3IMRN2kwZmpIlEjipMqg5ok4T5mjg+pJHqg5GkdtV6sdpN6dlasFEur5XAk305PSDhjjsBVatkfM12tgurTQcshp9UExkhNFqjstJVudvPcMbjCfccEQlL55AkMiqwgNRr5AEdxDZVQNVa9+6TIAHHZAW-HGR3kGg+dB8P2oIPy5BR+O1qhWtO5RA5Q3IAASCikHEaSbTWbzPL-dGrdZbBJqvK3+8fN8wVENZHmeABmBIACsKHVNMRGkGMHSwaodCAA Open this visualization in the Vega Editor> @ let enc = encoding . position X [ PRepeat Column, PmType Quantitative ] . position Y [ PRepeat Row, PmType Quantitative ] . color [ MSelectionCondition (SelectionName \"picked\") [ MName \"Cluster\", MmType Nominal ] [ MString \"grey\" ] ] sel = selection . select \"picked\" Interval [ ] trans = transform . calculateAs "cos(datum.RA_ICRS * PI / 180)" "cosRA" spec = asSpec [ gaiaData , trans [] , mark Circle [] , enc [] , sel [] ] in toVegaLite [ repeat [ RowFields [ \"cosRA\", \"DE_ICRS\" ] , ColumnFields [ \"plx\", \"Gmag\" ] ] , specification spec ] @ -} coordinatedViews :: VegaLite coordinatedViews = let enc = encoding . position X [ PRepeat Column, PmType Quantitative ] . position Y [ PRepeat Row, PmType Quantitative ] . color [ MSelectionCondition (SelectionName "picked") [ MName "Cluster", MmType Nominal ] [ MString "grey" ] ] sel = selection . select "picked" Interval [ ] trans = transform . calculateAs "cos(datum.RA_ICRS * PI / 180)" "cosRA" spec = asSpec [ gaiaData , trans [] , mark Circle [] , enc [] , sel [] ] in toVegaLite [ repeat [ RowFields [ "cosRA", "DE_ICRS" ] , ColumnFields [ "plx", "Gmag" ] ] , specification spec ] {-| If the interval selection is bound the the axes with 'BindScales' then we can zoom and pan the related plots - i.e. changing the range displayed in one plot will also change the two plots that it shares an axis with in this two by two arrangement.

There are -- layers, combined visualizations, and a selection that ties the -- different plots together. {-| This is based on the <https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/concat_marginal_histograms.html Marginal Histogram> example from the Vega-Lite <https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/ Example Gallery>. There is very-little new in this plot, in that pretty-much everything has been shown before. However, there are some interesting wrinkles, such as * combining multiple plots, in this case the \"top\" area - which is a histogram on top of a plot which is itself a \"map\" and a histogram - and \"bottom" area - which is just a point plot - requires judicious use of 'asSpec'; * selection works in __both__ the main plots - the \"map\" and \"point\" plots - to highlight all stars in the same cluster, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out I could just use the same selection specification (@selCluster@) in both (hopefully I am not just ejnoying a hole in the Vega Lite specification); * I have been perhaps too defensive in defining the Right Ascension and Declination axes in the relevant plots, as I want to make sure the histogram bins and plot axes are well aligned (that is the @'Nice' False@ statements may not be needed when defining the histogram axes); * I am not 100% sure I understand what is going on with the grid labels on the Declination axis, as I had thought I was asking for marks every 15 degrees, but the plot shows them every 30 degrees (however, if I change the @deTicks@ array then the marks change in ways I currently do not understand); * and I have decided to display Right Ascension in hours, rather than degrees, because why have one way to measure a value when you can have many! <<images/vl/combinedplot.png>>
