I am trying to create a legend for a layered line plot, I tried both datum and fold solutions described in the following topic but did not succeed to make it work:
How do I create a legend for a layered line plot
Here is my current vega-lite code using datum but not legend shows off:
{
"$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v2.json",
title: {
text: Main title
anchor: "start"},
data: {
url: {
%context%: true,
%timefield%: "MESSAGEDATE",
index: "mms-maws-ott",
body: {
size: 10000,
_source: ["MESSAGEDATE", "wl_pressure", "station_id", "wl_radar"]
}
},
format: {"property": "hits.hits"}
},
transform: [
{"calculate": "toDate(datum._source['MESSAGEDATE'])", "as": "time"}
{"calculate": "datum._source['wl_radar'] - datum._source['wl_pressure']", "as": "Offset"}
],
encoding: {
x: {
field: time
type: temporal
title: "Date"
}}
layer: [{
"mark": {"type": "line"},
encoding: {
y: {
field: _source.wl_pressure
type: quantitative
title: "Bubble"
},
color: {datum: "wl_pressure"}
}
},
{
"mark": {"type": "line"},
encoding: {
y: {
field: _source.wl_radar
type: quantitative
title: "Radar"
},
color: {datum: "_source.wl_radar"}
}
},
{
"mark": {"type": "line"},
encoding: {
y: {
field: Offset
type: quantitative
title: "Offset"
},
color: {datum: "Offset"}
}
}
]
}
