Altair Widgets

Note: Altair-widgets is experimental and not well supported. Use with care.

Altair Widgets are a tool to easily allow to interact with Altair charts in the Jupyter notebook.

This tool allows interactive exploration:

This library depends on Altair which relies on Vega-Lite for rendering charts. On Vega's homepage they list some other interactive toolkits. One of these is Voyager which has an online app that can be used with any CSV data.
