LineConfig schema wrapper

Mapping(required=[])

Parameters:
alignanyOf(Align, ExprRef)

The horizontal alignment of the text or ranged marks (area, bar, image, rect, rule). One of "left", "right", "center".

Note: Expression reference is not supported for range marks.

angleanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The rotation angle of the text, in degrees.

ariaanyOf(boolean, ExprRef)

A boolean flag indicating if ARIA attributes should be included (SVG output only). If false, the “aria-hidden” attribute will be set on the output SVG element, removing the mark item from the ARIA accessibility tree.

ariaRoleanyOf(string, ExprRef)

Sets the type of user interface element of the mark item for ARIA accessibility (SVG output only). If specified, this property determines the “role” attribute. Warning: this property is experimental and may be changed in the future.

ariaRoleDescriptionanyOf(string, ExprRef)

A human-readable, author-localized description for the role of the mark item for ARIA accessibility (SVG output only). If specified, this property determines the “aria-roledescription” attribute. Warning: this property is experimental and may be changed in the future.

aspectanyOf(boolean, ExprRef)

Whether to keep aspect ratio of image marks.

baselineanyOf(TextBaseline, ExprRef)

For text marks, the vertical text baseline. One of "alphabetic" (default), "top", "middle", "bottom", "line-top", "line-bottom", or an expression reference that provides one of the valid values. The "line-top" and "line-bottom" values operate similarly to "top" and "bottom", but are calculated relative to the lineHeight rather than fontSize alone.

For range marks, the vertical alignment of the marks. One of "top", "middle", "bottom".

Note: Expression reference is not supported for range marks.

blendanyOf(Blend, ExprRef)

The color blend mode for drawing an item on its current background. Any valid CSS mix-blend-mode value can be used.

__Default value:__ "source-over"

coloranyOf(Color, Gradient, ExprRef)

Default color.

  • "monotone" : cubic interpolation that preserves monotonicity in y.

invalidenum(‘filter’, None)

Defines how Vega-Lite should handle marks for invalid values ( null and NaN ).

  • If set to "filter" (default), all data items with null values will be skipped (for line, trail, and area marks) or filtered (for other marks).

  • If null, all data items are included. In this case, invalid values will be interpreted as zeroes.

limitanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The maximum length of the text mark in pixels. The text value will be automatically truncated if the rendered size exceeds the limit.

Default value: 0 – indicating no limit

lineBreakanyOf(string, ExprRef)

lineHeightanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The line height in pixels (the spacing between subsequent lines of text) for multi-line text marks.

opacityanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The overall opacity (value between [0,1]).

Default value: 0.7 for non-aggregate plots with point, tick, circle, or square marks or layered bar charts and 1 otherwise.

orderanyOf(None, boolean)

For line and trail marks, this order property can be set to null or false to make the lines use the original order in the data sources.

orientOrientation

The orientation of a non-stacked bar, tick, area, and line charts. The value is either horizontal (default) or vertical.

  • For bar, rule and tick, this determines whether the size of the bar and tick should be applied to x or y dimension.

  • For area, this property determines the orient property of the Vega output.

  • For line and trail marks, this property determines the sort order of the points in the line if config.sortLineBy is not specified. For stacked charts, this is always determined by the orientation of the stack; therefore explicitly specified value will be ignored.

outerRadiusanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The outer radius in pixels of arc marks. outerRadius is an alias for radius.

Default value: 0

padAngleanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The angular padding applied to sides of the arc, in radians.

pointanyOf(boolean, OverlayMarkDef, string)

If this property is "transparent", transparent points will be used (for enhancing tooltips and selections).

If this property is an empty object ( {} ) or true, filled points with default properties will be used.

If this property is false, no points would be automatically added to line or area marks.

Default value: false.

radiusanyOf(float, ExprRef)

For arc mark, the primary (outer) radius in pixels.

For text marks, polar coordinate radial offset, in pixels, of the text from the origin determined by the x and y properties.

Default value: min(plot_width, plot_height)/2

radius2anyOf(float, ExprRef)

  • the line symbol "stroke"

  • centered directional shapes "arrow", "wedge", or "triangle"

  • a custom SVG path string (For correct sizing, custom shape paths should be defined within a square bounding box with coordinates ranging from -1 to 1 along both the x and y dimensions.)

Default value: "circle"

sizeanyOf(float, ExprRef)

Default size for marks.

  • For point / circle / square, this represents the pixel area of the marks. Note that this value sets the area of the symbol; the side lengths will increase with the square root of this value.

  • For bar, this represents the band size of the bar, in pixels.

  • For text, this represents the font size, in pixels.

Default value:

  • 30 for point, circle, square marks; width/height’s step

  • 2 for bar marks with discrete dimensions;

  • 5 for bar marks with continuous dimensions;

  • 11 for text marks.

smoothanyOf(boolean, ExprRef)

A boolean flag (default true) indicating if the image should be smoothed when resized. If false, individual pixels should be scaled directly rather than interpolated with smoothing. For SVG rendering, this option may not work in some browsers due to lack of standardization.

startAngleanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The start angle in radians for arc marks. A value of 0 indicates up (north), increasing values proceed clockwise.

strokeanyOf(Color, Gradient, None, ExprRef)

Default stroke color. This property has higher precedence than config.color. Set to null to remove stroke.

Default value: "miter"

strokeMiterLimitanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The miter limit at which to bevel a line join.

strokeOffsetanyOf(float, ExprRef)

strokeOpacityanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The stroke opacity (value between [0,1]).

Default value: 1

strokeWidthanyOf(float, ExprRef)

The stroke width, in pixels.

tensionanyOf(float, ExprRef)

For text marks, polar coordinate angle in radians.

theta2anyOf(float, ExprRef)

The end angle of arc marks in radians. A value of 0 indicates up or “north”, increasing values proceed clockwise.

timeUnitBandPositionfloat
