Trail Marker

The trail marker is like the line marker, but it allows properties of the line (such as thickness) to vary along the length of the line. This shows a simple example of the trail mark using stock prices.

import altair as alt
from vega_datasets import data

stocks = data.stocks.url

alt.Chart(stocks).mark_trail().encode(
    x='date:T',
    y='price:Q',
    size='price:Q',
    color='symbol:N'
)
