Support of more Vega Charts

[Auth0rM0rgan]

Hello,

I want to ask, is it possible to support other Vega charts? I was looking at Vega documentation, and some of the charts are really interesting based on the data I have. If not, would you please guide me on adding support of different Vega charts, which are not supported yet?

Thanks in advance!

Right now there is no direct way to add it in UI, but we could consider adding that support if you find it interesting --

Vega charts are supported via templates, which configures basic chart spec, together with encoding routing rules. https://github.com/microsoft/data-formulator/blob/main/src/components/ChartTemplates.tsx

Certain types of chart may be a little harder to support due to layering / etc as they may require more post processing. What are some charts you have in your mind? We might be able to do a PR to support uploading custom Vega templates.
