Fixes #145.

Transformed marks now use the naming convention {transform}{mark}, making the underlying type of mark clearer, and also allowing the transforms to have simpler names.

Transforms:

  • bin1 ↦ bin
  • bin2 ↦ bin
  • group1 ↦ group
  • group2 ↦ group

Marks:

  • bin ↦ binRect
  • binY ↦ binRectX
  • binX ↦ binRectY
  • group ↦ groupCell
  • groupY ↦ groupBarX
  • groupX ↦ groupBarY

What do you think? Good idea? Bad? 👍 👎

👍 I vote it up, as it makes more intuitive sense to me to imagine the y meaning "variable height bars" (ie. "group stuff to make vertical bars" rather than "group on horizontal"). And it indicates that we have "transform then mark", a notion which isn't present in the binX/groupX notation.
