使用Vega的facet功能时，如何避免mark group标题重复？

一、消除Group标题重复 #

你当前代码在group类型的mark中直接定义了title，导致每个facet分组都会重复渲染标题。以下两种方法可以解决这个问题：

方法1：基于分组索引控制标题显示 #

利用facet分组的内置索引datum.index，仅让第一个分组显示标题：

"title": {"text": "This is a test title", "visible": {"expr": "datum.index === 0"}}

这样只有首个facet组会渲染标题，其余组自动隐藏。

方法2：将标题移至图表顶层 #

如果标题属于整个图表而非单个分组，直接在图表根节点定义title，不要嵌套在group内：

{
  "$schema": "https://vega.github.io/schema/vega/v5.json",
  "title": "This is a test title", // 移至根节点
  "description": "An interactive line chart...",
  // 其余配置项
}

二、解决轴标签叠加问题 #

每个facet分组默认生成独立的轴，导致标签叠加。可以通过以下方式优化：

方法1：仅在首个分组显示轴标签 #

修改axes配置，添加可见性条件，只让第一个分组显示完整的轴标签和标题，其余组保留刻度线但隐藏标签：

"axes": [
  {
    "orient": "left",
    "scale": "y",
    "grid": true,
    "format": "%",
    "label": {"visible": {"expr": "parent.index === 0"}},
    "title": {"visible": {"expr": "parent.index === 0"}}
  }
]

方法2：将轴定义在图表顶层 #

如果所有facet组共享同一轴范围，直接在图表根节点定义轴，避免每个分组重复生成：

• 移除group内的axes配置
• 在图表根节点添加axes配置，确保只渲染一次
