Pairplot with Plots?

[dkirkby]

I am trying to construct a grid of plots, similar to facets, but where the rows and columns are associated with different channel-value mappings, and possibly also different marks along the diagonal.

Specifically, I would like to produce the equivalent of a seaborn pairplot. I feel like there should be a clever way to accomplish this with the existing facets, but I haven’t found it yet. Vegalite has a concept of repetition that is distinct from facets to support this.

I couldn’t find an existing solution with search, but has anyone already made progress on this type of plot?

We don’t have a generic solution for this, but here are two links:

• a splom Plot scatter plot matrix / Fil / Observable made by normalizing each dimension to [0, 1] (or [0, 0.8] for the bar charts)
• the possibility to export and reuse scales from one chart to the other, with this pull-request expose scales by Fil · Pull Request #425 · observablehq/plot · GitHub

Scroll a bit down on Plot: CFD + Run + Leadtime Distribution / Martien van Steenbergen / Observable to find a first, rough stab at having views horizontal and facets vertical (or the other way around).

facets—same view on different (subsets) of the data;
views—different views on the same (subset) of the data;

Uses css grid.

Needs cleaning up!

Would really value some feedback.
