@domoritz I definitely prefer your suggestion of `cumulative?: boolean`. Also, when adding violin plots we may want to support multiple scaling options. The default (at present) is that all violins...

The ggplot violin options page shows that these questions are largely left to end users, with the default being the same as proposed above (_without_ normalization of trimmed density areas):...

Interesting! An alternative that might be a bit better perceptually could be to directly layer (overlay) the conditional violins (or zero-baseline distribution areas) with some opacity. That would make the...

Hmm, that looks like a rounding bug introduced by the `value` call on this line: https://github.com/vega/datalib/blob/master/src/bins/histogram.js#L60 The corresponding function ([bins.js#L72](https://github.com/vega/datalib/blob/master/src/bins/bins.js#L72)) is: ```js function value(v) { return this.step * Math.floor(v /...

There is no current activity on the project, but I believe it may resume in the summer or fall. Paging @arvind who can provide a more definitive answer.

Thanks for the bug report. When I attempt to reproduce, I find that the type inference methods are inferring the `name` column to be a `date`, for which a timestamp...

I would recommend renaming the function to something more appropriate (`npskew`?), but leave a deprecated reference to the existing function name `modeskew` to support backwards compatibility. I can add appropriate...

Thanks @jdfekete for raising the issue, and also flagging @domoritz. Scale is a recurring issue for Altair users, at least as evidenced in my visualization courses at UW. (Some students...

I was going to post an issue to this effect after a brief skim of the source code, as it appears to involve a fair bit of data copying. Glad...

I'm open to PRs on vega-scenegraph for adding pattern fill/stroke support (as opposed to a new mark type). However, I'm not sure if there are equivalent methods shared between SVG...
