You can log and consume charts generated by altair-viz or Vega Lite directly to Polyaxon.

Tracking

You can log any chart generated by Altair using Polyaxon’s tracking module.

Dashboard

Any chart that is logged during the lifetime of your jobs or experiments can be rendered automatically in Polyaxon UI.

In notebooks

You can also consume any events or charts tracked in your experiments using the Python Library to programmatically visualize results in notebooks.

Downloading events

All charts and events are stored on your artifacts store, and follow any networking or security policy you set for your cluster. You can download any chart tracked to either render it manually or to archive it to a different location using the Python Library

Example

Python script

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

from polyaxon import tracking

tracking.init()

source = data.cars()

brush = alt.selection(type='interval')

points = alt.Chart(source).mark_point().encode(
    x='Horsepower:Q',
    y='Miles_per_Gallon:Q',
    color=alt.condition(brush, 'Origin:N', alt.value('lightgray'))
).add_selection(
    brush
)

bars = alt.Chart(source).mark_bar().encode(
    y='Origin:N',
    color='Origin:N',
    x='count(Origin):Q'
).transform_filter(
    brush
)

chart = points & bars

tracking.log_altair_chart(name='altair_chart', figure=chart)
