# Vega-Lite Vega-Lite is a higher-level, more concise grammar for creating visualizations. Where Vega asks you to specify everything (scales, axes, marks, layout, legend placement…), Vega-Lite lets you describe a chart in terms of encodings - mappings from data fields to visual channels - and fills in sensible defaults for the rest. --- [Area Chart (Vega-Lite)](https://diagrams.gocapable.com/diagrams/area-chart-vega-lite.html)[Box Diagram (Vega-Lite)](https://diagrams.gocapable.com/diagrams/box-diagram-vega-lite.html)[Donut Chart (Vega-Lite)](https://diagrams.gocapable.com/diagrams/donut-chart-vega-lite.html)[Heat Map (Vega-Lite)](https://diagrams.gocapable.com/diagrams/heat-map-vega-lite.html)[Scatter Chart (Vega-Lite)](https://diagrams.gocapable.com/diagrams/scatter-chart-vega-lite.html)[Sine/Cosine Plot (Vega-Lite)](https://diagrams.gocapable.com/diagrams/sine-cosine-plot-vega-lite.html)[Stacked Bar (Vega-Lite)](https://diagrams.gocapable.com/diagrams/stacked-bar-vega-lite.html)
