) → CustomChart
Creates a custom charts using a Vega-Lite specification and a wandb.Table. This function creates a custom chart based on a Vega-Lite specification and a data table represented by a wandb.Table object. The specification needs to be predefined and stored in the W&B backend. The function returns a custom chart object that can be logged to W&B using wandb.Run.log(). Args:
  • vega_spec_name: The name or identifier of the Vega-Lite spec that defines the visualization structure.
  • data_table: A wandb.Table object containing the data to be visualized.
  • fields: A mapping between the fields in the Vega-Lite spec and the corresponding columns in the data table to be visualized.
  • string_fields: A dictionary for providing values for any string constants required by the custom visualization.
  • split_table: Whether the table should be split into a separate section in the W&B UI. If True, the table will be displayed in a section named “Custom Chart Tables”. Default is False.
Returns:
  • CustomChart: A custom chart object that can be logged to W&B. To log the chart, pass the chart object as argument to wandb.Run.log().
Raises:
  • wandb.Error: If data_table is not a wandb.Table object.
Example: 
# Create a custom chart using a Vega-Lite spec and the data table.
import wandb

data = [[1, 1], [2, 2], [3, 3], [4, 4], [5, 5]]
table = wandb.Table(data=data, columns=["x", "y"])
fields = {"x": "x", "y": "y", "title": "MY TITLE"}

with wandb.init() as run:
   # Training code goes here

   # Create a custom title with `string_fields`.
   my_custom_chart = wandb.plot_table(
        vega_spec_name="wandb/line/v0",
        data_table=table,
        fields=fields,
        string_fields={"title": "Title"},
   )

   run.log({"custom_chart": my_custom_chart})
