How facet resolves multiple records for the facetted parameter not documented  #27

Description

Please let me know if there is a forum specifically for Altair questions and help and I will move this there.

I haven't been able to find in the documentation how facet resolves multiple entries for the facetted parameter.

In the MWE below, what does facet() do when it encounters 3 entries where P = HD, and T = 0, yet only plots one value at HD, 0 in the t_facet (T) plot.

Is this just a flawed plot?

MWE

import pandas as pd
import altair as alt


data = [{"P": "HD", "T": 0,  "C":100, "Max": 1},
        {"P": "HD", "T": 0,  "C":400, "Max": 3},
        {"P": "HD", "T": 0,  "C":800, "Max": 0},
        {"P": "HD", "T": 23, "C":100, "Max": 2},
        {"P": "HD", "T": 23, "C":400, "Max": 1},
        {"P": "HD", "T": 23, "C":800, "Max": 1},
        {"P": "HD", "T": 80, "C":100, "Max": 7},
        {"P": "HD", "T": 80, "C":400, "Max": 2},
        {"P": "HD", "T": 80, "C":800, "Max": 1},
        {"P": "LD", "T": 0,  "C":100, "Max": 1},
        {"P": "LD", "T": 0,  "C":400, "Max": 2},
        {"P": "LD", "T": 0,  "C":800, "Max": 7},
        {"P": "LD", "T": 23, "C":100, "Max": 7},
        {"P": "LD", "T": 23, "C":400, "Max": 1},
        {"P": "LD", "T": 23, "C":800, "Max": 0},
        {"P": "LD", "T": 80, "C":100, "Max": 2},
        {"P": "LD", "T": 80, "C":400, "Max": 0},
        {"P": "LD", "T": 80, "C":800, "Max": 1}]

df = pd.DataFrame(data)

chart = alt.Chart(df).mark_bar().encode(x="P:N", y="Max:Q", color="P:N")

t_facet = chart.facet("T:N")
c_facet = chart.facet("C:N")
     P   T    C  Max
0   HD   0  100    1
1   HD   0  400    3
