Metrics Graphics

metrics-graphics is a data visualization library and declarative graphics framework designed to create principled data graphics and layouts. It functions as a statistical graphics engine that maps raw data to geometric shapes and structured objects to render complex, data-driven layouts.

The toolkit specializes in rendering time-series data through line charts and scatterplots using a consistent layout system. It also provides capabilities for statistical distribution mapping, including the creation of rug plots to represent one-dimensional data density.

The system covers a broad surface of data visualization engineering, including custom chart layout design and declarative data visualization. It utilizes a compositional model to translate structured specifications into final pixels.

Features

Time-Series Visualizers - Provides a comprehensive toolkit for rendering time-series data as line charts, scatterplots, and histograms.

Statistical Plotting Libraries - Maps raw data to geometric shapes and statistical distributions like rug plots and histograms.

Visualization Engines - Builds principled charts and layouts to represent complex datasets in a visual format.

Data Visualization Libraries - Provides a library for creating principled data graphics and layouts optimized for concise representations of complex datasets.

Geometric Data Mappings - Translates input arrays into geometric shapes like lines or rectangles based on defined mapping rules.

Data-Driven Shape Generators - Builds complex visual layouts by mapping raw data arrays to geometric shapes and screen coordinates.

Declarative Rendering - Separates visual properties from rendering implementation by translating structured object definitions into final pixels.

Declarative Visualization Grammars - Defines visual properties through structured specifications that a rendering engine translates into pixels.

Scale-Based Coordinate Mappings - Maps raw data values to screen coordinates using linear and logarithmic scales to ensure geometric accuracy.

Chart Layout Components - Creates precise and consistent data graphics using a compositional system of nested elements and axis-relative positioning.

Component Composition Patterns - Utilizes a compositional model that builds complex graphics by nesting small primitive elements into a hierarchical tree structure.
