I’m excited to announce the official release of bar_chart_race
, a python package for creating bar chart races. In this post, I'll cover many of the major available options. Navigate to the official documentation for all of the options.
Motivation
Bar chart races have become very popular over the last year and no python package existed to create them. I built some for my coronavirus dashboard.
