SGL: A Structured Graphics Language
Jon Chapman
TL;DR
SGL is a new graphics language designed to integrate statistical graphics specification into SQL query interfaces, combining a grammar of graphics with a SQL-like aesthetic.
Contribution
It introduces SGL, a structured graphics language that merges the grammar of graphics with SQL aesthetics, enabling seamless graphical specifications within SQL environments.
Findings
SGL supports statistical graphics specification within SQL interfaces.
The paper details the grammar and components of SGL with illustrative examples.
Comparison to layered grammar of graphics highlights SGL's unique features.
Abstract
This paper introduces SGL, a graphics language that is aesthetically similar to SQL. As a graphical counterpart to SQL, SGL enables specification of statistical graphics within SQL query interfaces. SGL is based on a grammar of graphics that has been customized to support a SQL aesthetic. This paper presents the fundamental components of the SGL language alongside examples, and describes SGL's underlying grammar of graphics via comparison to its closest predecessor, the layered grammar of graphics.
