This package provides an easy way to load the datasets in vega-datasets from julia.
You can install this package from the julia REPL with the following command:
Pkg.add("VegaDatasets")The package only exports one function that takes the name of a dataset and returns a VegaDataset with that data:
using VegaDatasets
vg = dataset("iris")VegaDataset implements the iterable tables interface, so it can be passed to any sink that accepts iterable tables.
For example, to convert a dataset into a DataFrame, you can write:
using VegaDatasets, DataFrames
df = DataFrame(dataset("iris"))You can pipe a VegaDataset directly into a VegaLite.jl plot:
using VegaLite, VegaDatasets
dataset("iris") |> @vlplot(:point, x=:sepalLength, y=:petalWidth)The following datasets are not tabular in nature:
- earthquakes
- graticule
- londonBoroughs
- londonTubeLines
- miserables
- us_10m
- world_110m
In those cases an object is returned that can be lowered to JSON, or one can access the .path property for such an object to get a path to the location of the dataset.
