Ranged dot plot documentation mismatch (between Altair and vega-lite)

[johanneswerner]

The documentation for the ranged dot plot for Altair and Vega-lite shows different outcomes.

I believe that the plot for Altair is incorrect (as the dots are missing).

Altair

Vega-Lite

Probably not the correct place to ask this question, but how can I produce the lower plot with Altair?

The problem in the Altair example is that the point chart domain is a list of strings while it should be ints. So using domain=[1955, 2000], instead, gives the correct plot

This has been updated in the development version of the Altair docs, which will go live once the next release is out. You can find a preview here in the meanwhile https://joelostblom.github.io/altair-docs/gallery/ranged_dot_plot.html

@debbes80 There is now a release candidate of Altair 5, which supports Vega-Lite 5! Details and info on how to install can be found in #2937. The docs have also been updated for this example https://altair-viz.github.io/gallery/ranged_dot_plot.html
