I have a csv file that contains data I want to represent using a bump chart (as an example )
http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0003nk
BUT I need to have some control over the formatting and would like to approach this in the most Pythonic way possible ( I am fairly new to Python using 3.5) so wonder if anyone could tell me which graphing package gives me the kind of control that would allow me to:
If anyone has a package that is in the open source environment that would be the best fit for me I would be grateful.
A Bump Chart is a special form of a line plot designed for exploring changes in rank over time. This chart helps compare the position / performance / ranking of multiple observations rather than the actual values itself.
Matplotlib is a Python library for creating charts. Matplotlib can be used in Python scripts, the Python and IPython shell, the jupyter notebook, web application servers, and four graphical user interface toolkits.
SO I have accidently found my answer myself in the example I gave. A VERY splendid man called Pascal Schetalat has an EXCELLENT implementation in Python using Numpy and Pandas. Here is the link
