Customise vega-lite Line Graph Axis Labels
0
What I want to do is really simple, but I just can't seem to get it right. I have a feeling I'm going to be embarrassed by the answer!
I have a line graph with "attempt" along the x-axis and "grade" along the y-axis, with grade being a number between 0 and 100. I simply want to change the y-axis so that, instead of seeing the raw number, a grade is show, say with 0 - 20 representing "E", 20-40 being "D" etc up to "A" (80-100). How can I do that? I don't want to use discrete values because I want to visually show where within a grade boundary a grade falls. I'm not sure whether I yet want to simply display the grade bands on the line or put them in the middle of their ticks, but just getting somewhere with this would help a lot!
Here is what I've been working with in the vega-lite editor:
{
"$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v3.json",
"data": {
"values": [
{
"attempt": 1,
"score": 30
},
{

"score": 75
},
{
"attempt": 4,
"score": 58
},
{
"attempt": 5,
"score": 67
}
]
},

Thanks in advance.

What about something like this: I add a dataframe with the grade category, and use this to layer some text. I remove the labels of the axis and so the text acts as if it were the labels of the axis.
The chart looks like this, and here is a link to the editor:
Schema (Note that I did it with Python's Altair, so it may not be canonical Vega-lite, and I did not use your settings either, sorry about that):

},
{
"label": "A",

}
],

}
]
},

Using a slighly modified dataframe for the categories (with x_max, y_min and y_max added), you can add another layer with colored rectangles, that can help read the values:

To get it working, I first had to change the encoding of the x and y axis to be ordinal. Then I mapped your input data values to letter grades before creating the schema:
//replace every score value with correct letter grade
values.forEach(datapoint => {
if(datapoint.score > 90) {
datapoint.score = "A";
} else if(datapoint.score > 80) {
datapoint.score = "B";
} else if (datapoint.score > 70) {
//so on...
}
});
Here is a working example in the vega-lite editor:

{

"score": "F"
},
{

},
{
"attempt": 4,

{

Thanks for your answer but this isn't quite what I'm looking for. I don't want the graph to lose information by putting all values for a grade together. I want to be able to see where on the scale attempts came, and how far between the grades they are. Basically, I want to plot the numbers 1 to 100 as they are, but modify the scale displayed.

Ah yes that makes sense. You might try looking into axis formatting in vega - you can get the compiled vega spec and useencode.labels.update.textto specify whatever text you want for each tick on the axis. See "Custom Axis Encodings" on the doc page: vega.github.io/vega/docs/axes. At the bottom of the page it says: "Custom text can be defined using the "text" property for labels. For example, one could define an ordinal scale that serves as a lookup table from axis values to axis label text." That sounds like what you want.

Using a slighly modified dataframe for the categories (with x_max, y_min and y_max added), you can add another layer with colored rectangles, that can help read the values:

What about something like this: I add a dataframe with the grade category, and use this to layer some text. I remove the labels of the axis and so the text acts as if it were the labels of the axis.
The chart looks like this, and here is a link to the editor:

To get it working, I first had to change the encoding of the x and y axis to be ordinal. Then I mapped your input data values to letter grades before creating the schema:
//replace every score value with correct letter grade
values.forEach(datapoint => {
if(datapoint.score > 90) {
datapoint.score = "A";
} else if(datapoint.score > 80) {
datapoint.score = "B";
} else if (datapoint.score > 70) {
//so on...
}
});
Here is a working example in the vega-lite editor:
Line Chart with Ordinal Values
Here is the schema:
{

"values": [
{

"score": "F"

Thanks for your answer but this isn't quite what I'm looking for. I don't want the graph to lose information by putting all values for a grade together. I want to be able to see where on the scale attempts came, and how far between the grades they are. Basically, I want to plot the numbers 1 to 100 as they are, but modify the scale displayed.

Ah yes that makes sense. You might try looking into axis formatting in vega - you can get the compiled vega spec and useencode.labels.update.textto specify whatever text you want for each tick on the axis. See "Custom Axis Encodings" on the doc page: vega.github.io/vega/docs/axes. At the bottom of the page it says: "Custom text can be defined using the "text" property for labels. For example, one could define an ordinal scale that serves as a lookup table from axis values to axis label text." That sounds like what you want.
