timeUnit 在 flatten 和 flod 转换后不起作用

Question

是否可以在flatten和flod转换后使用timeUnit？在下面的示例中它不起作用！

如果我从它绘制的 x 轴上删除 timeUnit，但没有 timeUnit 附带的好东西。

谢谢

这是一个示例代码，可以在下面的link中执行 https://vega.github.io/editor/#/edited

{
  "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega-lite/v4.json",
  "description": "Sales in a Year.",
  "width": 500,
  "height": 200,
  
  "data": {
    "values": [
      {"timestamp": ["2019-01-01","2019-02-01","2019-03-01","2019-04-01","2019-05-01","2019-06-01",
                     "2019-07-01","2019-08-01","2019-09-01","2019-10-01","2019-11-01","2019-12-01"],
       "cars"  : [55, 43, 91, 81, 53, 19, 87, 52, 52, 44, 52, 52],
       "bikes"     : [12,  6,  2,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  0,  3,  9, 15]}
    ]
  },
  
  "transform": [
    {"flatten": ["timestamp", "cars", "bikes"]},
    {"fold": ["cars", "bikes"]}
  ],
  "mark": {"type":"bar", "tooltip": true, "cornerRadiusEnd": 4},

    "y": {"field": "value", 
          "type": "quantitative",

    "color":{"field": "key",

  }
}

为方便起见，具有简单时间编码的输入数据中的字符串会自动解析为日期，但此类解析不适用于作为转换结果的数据。

在这种情况下，您可以使用计算转换手动进行解析 (view in editor):

      {
        "timestamp": [
          "2019-01-01",
          "2019-02-01",
          "2019-03-01",

        "cars": [55, 43, 91, 81, 53, 19, 87, 52, 52, 44, 52, 52],

  "transform": [
    {"flatten": ["timestamp", "cars", "bikes"]},
    {"fold": ["cars", "bikes"]},
    {"calculate": "toDate(datum.timestamp)", "as": "timestamp"}

timeUnit 在 flatten 和 flod 转换后不起作用

timeUnit does not work after a flatten and flod transformation

transform

flatten

fold

timeunit
