Thank you for the links.  
I had already seen both of the pages you linked to, and I still have some newbie questions.  
AFAICT, format only applies to vega-lite, and not vega/v3. Is that right?  
If that is not right, then can you explain to me how to change the kibana-vega I posted so that it works?

I tried to make a self-contained example here:

Since I'm having such troubles making the data display, can you give me full working example based on the gist I posted one line above this one?
