Comment on Interactive English League Bumps Chart by Jon Peltier

Andreas -

Very nice. I like how it handles Team 1 and Team 2. I generally handled this with a pair of dropdowns, but your way is more elegant.

A bumps chart makes it relatively easy to select a desired chart, because only one series can occupy a given rank on a given point in time. When the series plot continuously variable data, one series may obscure another, and it is often more difficult to single out a series with a click on the chart. Providing two means for selecting a series is a nice touch.
