G2: The Grammar of Graphics in JavaScript

G2 is a visualization grammar, a data-driven visual language with a high level of usability and scalability. It provides a set of grammars, takes users beyond a limited set of charts to an almost unlimited world of graphical forms. With G2, users can describe the visual appearance of a visualization just by one statement.

Special thanks to Leland Wilkinson, the author of The Grammar Of Graphics, whose book served as the foundation for G2.

Experience Improvement Program Description

In order to serve the users better, G2 will send the URL and version information back to the AntV server:

https://kcart.alipay.com/web/bi.do

Except for URL and G2 version information, no other information will be collected. You can also turn it off with the following code:

// disable tracking
G2.track(false)

update:

We decided to terminate the "Experience Improvement Program". In verson @antv/g2@3.4.7 and above, all tracking code is removed, no unexpected remote request will be sent while you are using G2.
