Lens should support what's often called a Facet chart/grid (ggplo2t), Trellis Chart, or Small Multiples chart.

For the traditional visualizations, this was partially supported via "split chart" by "Rows" and/or "Colums", but they do not exist for Lens. (And I could not find any issues on this.)

It is currently possible to get a "facet feeling", by arranging visualizations in a grid on a dashboard, but there are many drawbacks, such as:

  • Repeated borders take up extra space.
  • Repeated legends/ticks take up space.
  • x/y axes can't auto-scale together across visuals.
  • Facet categories must be hardcoded (does not support dynamically changing values).
  • Lots of manual configuration.
  • Performance (query run n*m times?).
