Create a Glyph Visualization

Entry point for the glyph grammar. Creates a specification object that describes a visualization declaratively. Unlike ggplot2, the spec is a pure data structure (nested list) that can be serialized, inspected, and compiled to multiple backends.

Usage

glyph(data = NULL, ...)

Arguments

data: A data.frame or tibble. Unlike ggplot2, glyph also accepts lists-of-lists, URLs to CSV/JSON, or arrow tables (planned).
...: Global aesthetic mappings using bare column names (no aes() needed). e.g. glyph(mtcars, x = wt, y = mpg)

Value

A glyph_spec object

Examples

spec <- glyph(mtcars, x = wt, y = mpg) |>
  mark_point()
summary(spec)
