Support for Mobile

[domoritz]

Vega-Lite’s implementation of selections currently only listens to desktop interactions. In the future, Vega-Lite’s selections should also be triggered by touch events. Since mobile displays are much smaller, some of the interactions and defaults have to be adjusted. See vega/vega-lite#4661 for details.

Any sign of this happening? I'd love to use vega but a core requirement is it to work on mobile/tablet.

Vega works well on mobile and Vega-Lite works except for interactions. It should be straight forward to add support for mobile interactions in Vega-Lite if someone can spare a few days of development.

Hi! This issue has been open for a few years, and it's been about 5 months since the last post here, so I thought I would poke my head again... any updates on when this might make it into a release? I'm developing an app where the only UI is going to be a LCD touch screen, and I'd love to use vega-lite to do some visualizations on the screen, but it's kind of a non-starter if I can't get any touch interactions from vega-lite... If it's really just a couple of days of development for someone, is there any way I can help encourage that development to happen without doing it myself? Like what would that cost and who could I pay to do it :-)?

Yes! Send me an email to my CMU address.

I'm moving this to Done since vega/vega-lite#4661 was resolved

[domoritz]

Sounds good. Thanks!

Closing for now since we have basic support but this doesn't mean that we are not improving mobile support.
