Demat

Demat is a French Brittany word to said Hello (http://devri.bzh/dictionnaire/d/demat/).

Demat is a java library to generate Vega-lite representations.

Demat uses the excellent JAVET library to execute JS code.

Use it

Let's run this script with Groovy to draw a simple bar chart and save it in a svg file.

@GrabConfig(systemClassLoader=true)
@Grab(group = 'org.orbisgis', module = 'demat', version = '1.0.0')

import static org.orbisgis.demat.Plot.*

def spec = [
        description:"A simple bar chart with embedded data.",
        data: [values: [
                ["a": "A", "b": 28], ["a": "B", "b": 55], ["a": "C", "b": 43],
                ["a": "D", "b": 91], ["a": "E", "b": 81], ["a": "F", "b": 53],
                ["a": "G", "b": 19], ["a": "H", "b": 87], ["a": "I", "b": 52]]
        ],
        mark:"bar",
        encoding : [x : [field:"a",axis:[LabelAngle:0],type:"nominal"],
                    y:  [field:"b","type":"quantitative"]]]
toSVG(spec,  "/tmp/bar_chart.svg")
