Introduction
A bump chart shows changes in rank over time. This week, inspired by a visual from Statista Charts, we are making a bump chart of the countries with the highest GDP in 3 selected years.
The example below uses a ribbon chart core visual to create the bump chart, but you are welcome to use your visual of choice.
Requirements
- Get the data.
- Shape the data to create a table with 3 columns: Nominal GDP, Country, and Year.
- Add a column that relates the country to the appropriate continent.
- Create a bump chart with the 3 selected years in the data on the x-axis.
- Ensure the #1 ranked country is located at the top of the y-axis.
- Color the segments by continent (Europe, Asia, or Americas).
- Create a legend to explain the colors used.
- Show the country, year, and nominal GDP in the tooltip.
