How to jitter x-values while maintaining categorical axis like seaborn swarmplot?

[gh-owestesson]

Is it possible to make a seaborn-style 'swarmplot' in Altair? I like being able to see all points for a given category, but I'm not sure how to vary the axis values without losing the categorical labeling.

The stripplot documented here is close, but I'd like to vary the categorical axis values just enough so that points don't overlap:

No, that's not yet supported in Altair/Vega-Lite. There is some discussion of adding this feature at vega/vega-lite#396

While not yet fully supported by the vega-lite grammar, you can do something like this with calculate transforms. An example was recently submitted for the gallery here: https://github.com/altair-viz/altair/blob/master/altair/examples/stripplot.py

The example cited above seems to have moved. Looks like this is the new URL.
