Facet
Splitting. That is, visualizing a single dataset in different ways.
- Different insights through different encodings
- Viewing multiple features simultaneously with the same method
- Large-scale perspective, small-scale perspective, etc…
In matplotlib, facets can be expressed through multiple figures and axes.
Grid spec
Literally treating axes like a grid. There are two ways to use them as a grid:
- numpy-like slicing
- Using x, y, dx, dy
Adding subplots inside an ax
Added in a minimap-like form.
