Configure parameters (here scales) of plot interactively

[Make42]

Would it be possible to add the possiblity to add a radio button, a checkbox or something similar to allow parametrization of the plot that is not the data directly? I would like to use a checkbox to indicate whether an axis (here the x-axis) should be displayed normally or in log-scale.

This is something that would need to be added to Vega-Lite before it would be available in Altair. You can ask on their issue tracker to find out if there are anyplans for it (there might already be an open issue).

@joelostblom : Is the answer of https://github.com/vega/vega-lite/issues/7361 helping? I am so new, that I am not sure exactly what domoritz is talking about.

params is what selections have evolved into in Vega-Lite 5.0. Altair doesn't yet support this.

[mjohnson11]

Just checking on this - am I right in understanding that it is not possible to use params in altair as of now?

[mattijn]

Yes. It's not supported yet. Follow PR https://github.com/altair-viz/altair/pull/2528 for this feature.

With the release of Altair 5, you can now use Parameters which should address this use case.
