Vega Lite：修正分组背景中Breakdown Type标签的居中对齐问题

需要调整Vega Lite代码，让Breakdown Type（截图中标红的主要分类）标签精准定位在对应背景色块的中心。目前标签位置存在偏移，虽已按Breakdown Type Number分组计算中心位置，但未实现正确居中，以下是修正方案：

问题分析 #

原代码核心问题：

• 背景层x轴为ordinal（序数）类型，刻度位置基于Breakdown的顺序索引，而非Breakdown Number的数值
• 标签层用Breakdown Number数值计算中心，与ordinal轴的刻度映射不匹配，导致偏移

修正方案 #

修改点说明 #

1. 背景层x轴明确设置scale.type: "band"，确保色块占满刻度带
2. 标签层转换逻辑调整为基于Breakdown的序数索引计算中心：
   • 用window获取每个Breakdown的序数位置
   • 按Breakdown Type Number分组计算最小/最大序数位置，取平均得到中心x坐标
   • 标签的x编码绑定到背景层的x轴scale，保证坐标匹配
