But, again, this will be coming in the future. This also means that we can't properly hack plots using Altair to look like jitter plots, at least not with the axis properly labeled. This means that Altair does not as well, though it, too, almost certainly will in the future. Vega/Vega-Lite currently does not have a jitter transformation, though it almost certainly will in the future. Rather, the jitter is a transform, which is part of the specification of the map of the data to its visual representation. That is, it is against the grammar to specify x and y positions of each point and then plot them while labeling the axis with a categorical variable like the frog ID. In the grammar of Altair (which is the grammar of Vega/Vega-Lite), this jittering effect is a transform on the data, since we are still plotting against a categorical axis. So, instead of having the points all in one line for each frog, we can instead jitter the points in the x-direction by adding some random noise to it. This is nicer, but we sould like to visualize the points more clearly. Be sure to update the module if you have not already by doing the following on the command line. I wrote a couple functions to make box plots and jitter plots using Altair, and these are available in the bootcamp_utils module. This is what you would have to do anyway with a lower level plotting package. The only way to make these kinds of graphics using Altair, is to hack it together using the existing grammar. These features will very likely be in future releases of Altair, as described by Jake VanderPlas, one of Altair's developers, in this exchange on Twitter. It takes this grammar from Vega/Vega-Lite, and is therefore reliant on those packages and their updates. Remember, Altair's greatest strength, in my opinion, is its clean and stable grammar. The reason for the delay is that the developers are waiting for Vega-Lite to have this capability. Unfortunately, Altair is currently lacking in functionality to quickly make box plots, jitter plots, and ECDFs (almost no plotting package does at the moment). As I mentioned before, if you do want to plot summary statistics, box plots are a reasonable alternative. For that reason, I prefer not to use them, but rather to use ECDFs or jitter plots, which enables plotting of all data. In general, if you can plot all of your data.
