Visualise The Change In Rank Over Time With Bump Charts

Look beyond bar plots.

When visualizing the change in rank over time, using a bar chart may not be appropriate. Instead, try Bump Charts.

They are specifically used to visualize the rank of different items over time.

In contrast to the commonly used bar chart, they are clear, elegant, and easy to comprehend.

Over to you: What are some other bar chart alternatives to try in such cases? Let me know :)
