Panel VegaFusion

WORK IN PROGRESS. PROOF OF CONCEPT WORKING.

The Panel VegaFusion pane allows you to create interactive big data apps based on the Altair plotting library and the Vega visualization specification.

VegaFusion provides serverside acceleration for the Vega visualization grammar.

Panel makes it easy to create powerful data apps using the tools you know and ❤️. Member of the HoloViz ecosystem.

Install

pip install panel-vegafusion

If you have Jupyter Lab installed and plan on using it you should definately also install the Panel Jupyterlab Preview via

jupyter serverextension enable panel.io.jupyter_server_extension

Example

import altair as alt
import panel as pn
from panel_vegafusion import VegaFusion
from panel_vegafusion.utils import get_plot, ALTAIR_BLUE, get_theme

pn.extension(template="fast")

theme=get_theme()
alt.themes.enable(theme)

plot=get_plot() # Can be replaced by any Altair plot or Vega Specification

component = VegaFusion(plot, height=800).servable()

pn.state.template.param.update(
    site="Panel VegaFusion", title="Interactive BIG DATA apps with CROSSFILTERING for Altair and Vega",
    accent_base_color=ALTAIR_BLUE, header_background=ALTAIR_BLUE,
)

You can serve the application via panel serve name_of_file.py or panel serve name_of_notebook.ipynb. Add the --autoreload for hot reload during development and --show to automatically open the app in the browser.
