How a data field should be interpreted by the chart.

  • 'quantitative' — numeric values (counts, measurements, currency). Mapped with a linear scale.
  • 'categorical' — discrete strings (categories, group names). Mapped with a band scale on positional channels; with a categorical palette on the color channel.
  • 'temporal' — date/time values. Parsed to Date and mapped with a time scale.
