    Parameters
    ----------
    name : string (optional)

    value : any (optional)

        'empty=False'.
    expr : :class:`Expr` (optional)
        An expression for the value of the parameter. This expression may

        automatically update in response to upstream parameter changes.
    encodings : List[str] (optional)
        A list of encoding channels. The corresponding data field values
        must match for a data tuple to fall within the selection.
    on : string (optional)
        A Vega event stream (object or selector) that triggers the selection.
        For interval selections, the event stream must specify a start and end.
    clear : string or boolean (optional)
        Clears the selection, emptying it of all values. This property can
        be an Event Stream or False to disable clear.  Default is 'dblclick'.
    resolve : enum('global', 'union', 'intersect') (optional)
        With layered and multi-view displays, a strategy that determines
        how selections' data queries are resolved when applied in a filter
        transform, conditional encoding rule, or scale domain.
        One of:

        * 'global': only one brush exists for the entire SPLOM. When the
          user begins to drag, any previous brushes are cleared, and a
          new one is constructed.
        * 'union': each cell contains its own brush, and points are
          highlighted if they lie within any of these individual brushes.
        * 'intersect': each cell contains its own brush, and points are
          highlighted only if they fall within all of these individual
          brushes.

        The default is 'global'.
    mark : :class:`Mark` (optional)
        An interval selection also adds a rectangle mark to depict the
        extents of the interval. The mark property can be used to
        customize the appearance of the mark.
    translate : string or boolean (optional)
        When truthy, allows a user to interactively move an interval
        selection back-and-forth. Can be True, False (to disable panning),
        or a Vega event stream definition which must include a start and
        end event to trigger continuous panning. Discrete panning (e.g.,
        pressing the left/right arrow keys) will be supported in future
        versions.
        The default value is True, which corresponds to
        [mousedown, window:mouseup] > window:mousemove!
        This default allows users to click and drag within an interval
        selection to reposition it.
    zoom : string or boolean (optional)
        When truthy, allows a user to interactively resize an interval
        selection. Can be True, False (to disable zooming), or a Vega
        event stream definition. Currently, only wheel events are supported,
        but custom event streams can still be used to specify filters,
        debouncing, and throttling. Future versions will expand the set of
        events that can trigger this transformation.
        The default value is True, which corresponds to wheel!. This
        default allows users to use the mouse wheel to resize an interval
        selection.

        automatically update in response to upstream parameter changes.
    encodings : List[str] (optional)
        A list of encoding channels. The corresponding data field values
        must match for a data tuple to fall within the selection.
    fields : List[str] (optional)
        A list of field names whose values must match for a data tuple to
        fall within the selection.
    on : string (optional)
        A Vega event stream (object or selector) that triggers the selection.
        For interval selections, the event stream must specify a start and end.
    clear : string or boolean (optional)
        Clears the selection, emptying it of all values. This property can
        be an Event Stream or False to disable clear.  Default is 'dblclick'.
    resolve : enum('global', 'union', 'intersect') (optional)
        With layered and multi-view displays, a strategy that determines
        how selections' data queries are resolved when applied in a filter
        transform, conditional encoding rule, or scale domain.
        One of:

        * 'global': only one brush exists for the entire SPLOM. When the
          user begins to drag, any previous brushes are cleared, and a
          new one is constructed.
        * 'union': each cell contains its own brush, and points are
          highlighted if they lie within any of these individual brushes.
        * 'intersect': each cell contains its own brush, and points are
          highlighted only if they fall within all of these individual
          brushes.

        The default is 'global'.
    toggle : string or boolean (optional)
        Controls whether data values should be toggled (inserted or
        removed from a point selection) or only ever inserted into
        point selections.
        One of:

        * True (default): the toggle behavior, which corresponds to
          "event.shiftKey". As a result, data values are toggled
          when the user interacts with the shift-key pressed.
        * False: disables toggling behaviour; the selection will
          only ever contain a single data value corresponding
          to the most recent interaction.
        * A Vega expression which is re-evaluated as the user interacts.
          If the expression evaluates to True, the data value is
          toggled into or out of the point selection. If the expression
          evaluates to False, the point selection is first cleared, and
          the data value is then inserted. For example, setting the
          value to the Vega expression True will toggle data values
          without the user pressing the shift-key.

    nearest : boolean (optional)
        When true, an invisible voronoi diagram is computed to accelerate
        discrete selection. The data value nearest the mouse cursor is
        added to the selection.  The default is False, which means that
        data values must be interacted with directly (e.g., clicked on)
        to be added to the selection.
    **kwds :
        Additional keywords to control the selection.

        type : ProjectionType
            The cartographic projection to use. This value is case-insensitive, for example
            `"albers"` and `"Albers"` indicate the same projection type. You can find all valid
            projection types [in the

            **Default value:** `equalEarth`
        center : List(float)
            Sets the projection’s center to the specified center, a two-element array of
            longitude and latitude in degrees.

            **Default value:** `[0, 0]`
        clipAngle : float
            Sets the projection’s clipping circle radius to the specified angle in degrees. If
            `null`, switches to [antimeridian](http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/3788999) cutting
            rather than small-circle clipping.
        clipExtent : List(List(float))
            Sets the projection’s viewport clip extent to the specified bounds in pixels. The
            extent bounds are specified as an array `[[x0, y0], [x1, y1]]`, where `x0` is the
            left-side of the viewport, `y0` is the top, `x1` is the right and `y1` is the
            bottom. If `null`, no viewport clipping is performed.
        coefficient : float

        distance : float

        fraction : float

        lobes : float

        parallel : float

        precision : Mapping(required=[length])
            Sets the threshold for the projection’s [adaptive
            resampling](http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/3795544) to the specified value in pixels.
            This value corresponds to the [Douglas–Peucker
            distance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93Peucker_algorithm).
             If precision is not specified, returns the projection’s current resampling
            precision which defaults to `√0.5 ≅ 0.70710…`.
        radius : float

        ratio : float

        reflectX : boolean

        reflectY : boolean

        rotate : List(float)
            Sets the projection’s three-axis rotation to the specified angles, which must be a
            two- or three-element array of numbers [`lambda`, `phi`, `gamma`] specifying the

            Array of objects that define fields to aggregate.
        groupby : List(string)

        self : Chart object
            returns chart to allow for chaining

        Examples
        --------
        The aggregate transform allows you to specify transforms directly using
        the same shorthand syntax as used in encodings:

        >>> import altair as alt
        >>> chart1 = alt.Chart().transform_aggregate(
        ...     mean_acc='mean(Acceleration)',
        ...     groupby=['Origin']
        ... )
        >>> print(chart1.transform[0].to_json())  # doctest: +NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE
        {
          "aggregate": [
            {
              "as": "mean_acc",
              "field": "Acceleration",
              "op": "mean"
            }
          ],
          "groupby": [
            "Origin"
          ]
        }

        It also supports including AggregatedFieldDef instances or dicts directly,
        so you can create the above transform like this:

        >>> chart2 = alt.Chart().transform_aggregate(
        ...     [alt.AggregatedFieldDef(field='Acceleration', op='mean',
        ...                             **{'as': 'mean_acc'})],

        method : :class:`ImputeMethod`
            The imputation method to use for the field value of imputed data objects.
            One of ``value``, ``mean``, ``median``, ``max`` or ``min``.

            The definition of the fields in the window, and what calculations to use.
        frame : List(anyOf(None, float))
            A frame specification as a two-element array indicating how the sliding window
            should proceed. The array entries should either be a number indicating the offset
            from the current data object, or null to indicate unbounded rows preceding or
            following the current data object. The default value is ``[null, 0]``, indicating
            that the sliding window includes the current object and all preceding objects. The
            value ``[-5, 5]`` indicates that the window should include five objects preceding
            and five objects following the current object. Finally, ``[null, null]`` indicates
            that the window frame should always include all data objects. The only operators
            affected are the aggregation operations and the ``first_value``, ``last_value``, and
            ``nth_value`` window operations. The other window operations are not affected by
            this.

            **Default value:** :  ``[null, 0]`` (includes the current object and all preceding
            objects)
        groupby : List(string)
            The data fields for partitioning the data objects into separate windows. If
            unspecified, all data points will be in a single group.
        ignorePeers : boolean
            Indicates if the sliding window frame should ignore peer values. (Peer values are
            those considered identical by the sort criteria). The default is false, causing the
            window frame to expand to include all peer values. If set to true, the window frame
            will be defined by offset values only. This setting only affects those operations
            that depend on the window frame, namely aggregation operations and the first_value,
            last_value, and nth_value window operations.

            **Default value:** ``false``
        sort : List(:class:`SortField`)
            A sort field definition for sorting data objects within a window. If two data
            objects are considered equal by the comparator, they are considered “peer” values of
            equal rank. If sort is not specified, the order is undefined: data objects are
            processed in the order they are observed and none are considered peers (the

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : Data
        An object describing the data source
    mark : AnyMark
        A string describing the mark type (one of `"bar"`, `"circle"`, `"square"`, `"tick"`,
         `"line"`, * `"area"`, `"point"`, `"rule"`, `"geoshape"`, and `"text"`) or a
         MarkDef object.
    encoding : FacetedEncoding
        A key-value mapping between encoding channels and definition of fields.
    autosize : anyOf(AutosizeType, AutoSizeParams)
        Sets how the visualization size should be determined. If a string, should be one of
        `"pad"`, `"fit"` or `"none"`. Object values can additionally specify parameters for
        content sizing and automatic resizing. `"fit"` is only supported for single and
        layered views that don't use `rangeStep`.  Default value: `pad`
    background : string
        CSS color property to use as the background of visualization.

        **Default value:** none (transparent)
    config : Config
        Vega-Lite configuration object.  This property can only be defined at the top-level
        of a specification.
    description : string
        Description of this mark for commenting purpose.
    height : float
        The height of a visualization.
    name : string
        Name of the visualization for later reference.
    padding : Padding
        The default visualization padding, in pixels, from the edge of the visualization
        canvas to the data rectangle.  If a number, specifies padding for all sides. If an
        object, the value should have the format `{"left": 5, "top": 5, "right": 5,
        "bottom": 5}` to specify padding for each side of the visualization.  Default
        value: `5`
    projection : Projection
        An object defining properties of geographic projection.  Works with `"geoshape"`
        marks and `"point"` or `"line"` marks that have a channel (one or more of `"X"`,
        `"X2"`, `"Y"`, `"Y2"`) with type `"latitude"`, or `"longitude"`.
    selection : Mapping(required=[])
        A key-value mapping between selection names and definitions.
    title : anyOf(string, TitleParams)
        Title for the plot.
    transform : List(Transform)
        An array of data transformations such as filter and new field calculation.
    width : float
        The width of a visualization.
