What is Composable Visualization?

When we do visualization, we often need to combine multiple plots to show different aspects of the data. For example, we may need to create a heatmap to show the expression of genes in different cells, and then create a bar chart to show the expression of genes in different cell types. A visualization contains multiple plots is called a composable visualization. In Marsilea, we employ a declarative approach for user to create composable visualization incrementally.
