A Datasette plugin for making data visualizations with [Observable Plot](https://observablehq.com/plot/).



## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as Datasette.

```bash

datasette install datasette-plot

```

## Usage

Once installed, table pages and SQL query pages will have a new "Show plot" button that will open the `datasette-plot`.



Currently, `datasette-plot` only supports a few [visualization marks](https://observablehq.com/plot/features/marks) from Plot, including dot, line, area, bar, and more.

Use the `Link to this plot` URL to share visualization with others. The link will have your plot options encoded in the URL.

## Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:

```bash

cd datasette-plot

python3 -m venv venv

source venv/bin/activate

```

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

```bash

pip install -e '.[test]'

```

To run the tests:

```bash

pytest

```
