    #Layered Grammar of Graphics

###Short description:
The project aim is to implement layered [Grammar of Graphics][303], in [Haskell][308] using [Diagrams][309] as backend. The core ideas is to start with the raw data and think about all the transformations, statistics, etc. that go into graphing it. With a good framework, this can help us see connections between different graphs and create new ones. You’ll realize that a pie chart is basically just a stacked bar chart plotted in polar coordinates, with bar height mapped to pie-slice angle… and that can get you thinking.
