Matplotlib Backend for Altair Visualization Library

Altair is a declarative statistical visualization library for Python, based on the Vega and Vega-Lite visualization grammars. This project converts Altair charts to Matplotlib objects that can be modified using the Matplotlib API, rendered as publication-qualuty figures, and integrated with Matplotlib based tools, libraries, and dashboards.
