Abstract
Altair is a declarative statistical visualization library for Python.
Statistical visualization is a constrained subset of data visualization focused
on the creation of visualizations that are helpful in statistical modeling. The
constrained model of statistical visualization is usually expressed in terms of
a visualization grammar that specifies how input data is transformed and mapped
to visual properties (position, color, size, etc.).
