Conceptual guides explain behavior shared by several chart types. Start with Scales and domains for position, then use the guides below as your chart becomes more composed or publication-ready.

• Scales and domains
• Themes and styling
• Legends and visual encodings
• Layers and secondary axes
• Facets and shared scales
• Annotations
• Raster and SVG output
• Accessibility
• Performance and large datasets

Coming from another plotting library:

• Coming from matplotlib
• Coming from pyplot
• Coming from seaborn

New terminology is defined in the Glossary.
