Altair is a declarative statistical visualization library for Python, built on the powerful Vega and Vega-Lite grammar. It allows you to create interactive, informative charts using a consistent API, where you describe the links between data columns and visual encoding channels (like x-axis, y-axis, color, size) rather than explicitly coding drawing commands.
Use chart.validate() to check for invalid specifications.
