Abstract
In Chapter 1, we explored the Charticulator screen and learned about the Attributes panes which list the attributes of the currently selected layer. Along the way, you dragged fields into some of these attributes to associate data with the height and color of the glyph and the x-axis of the chart. This enabled you to construct a typical clustered column chart. However, at that time there was no reason for you to understand the implications of what you were doing. Associating fields with attributes in this way is known as binding data and is a key concept underpinning the design of Charticulator charts. Binding data entails populating an attribute with a field, generating a scale that drives the behavior or format of that attribute based on the data within the field.
