Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing supported marks listed in the issue and the linked Observable Plot marks documentation. The issue is a request to decide which marks to support first, so completion depends on selecting and scoping specific marks before implementation can begin.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The current "supported" ones in this plugin are:

  • Dot
  • Line
  • Area
  • Bar
  • Linear Regression

But there are 20+ more marks we could support. Which ones should we tackle first? Feel free to comment on ones you'd like to see in this issue!
