This is sooo good that I decided to buy you a coffee, Sjoerd! Nice job on this one! I wonder how to show more than 10 bars at the same time as I have more than 10.

Thank you very much for this! It would also help me tremendously if you could show how you add an animated map to the visualization.

Hi Sjoerd, thanks for this end to end tutorial. Do you know a way to export the canvas as an mp4 video like the bar_chart_race using ffmpeg?

Hey, great tutorial, thank you. Quick question, is there any way to remove decimal points from the data? I'm working with data which contains only whole numbers and my visulisation is showing the data with 2 decimal points. I just wanted to know if there is a way to remove these.

Hello thank you for this! Though, do you know how to move the time indicator? I don't want it to stay at the bottom left corner if that is possible!

[altaf]

Awesome tutorial video. Just wanted to ask one thing. When the graph gets to the end, the X-AXIS markers gets lost.

Hi, nice visualization. I want to apply it on my data. It is running but it loads into a full screen and then after running the visual, that window freezes up and is difficult to close/ rerun. I am on M1 Mac and I start getting the processing rainbow wheel after that. The kernel dies then on JN and I have to restart to run the visual again. Any advice?

[rahmountaharzakaria]

how did you manage to align each picture perfectly with its repective bar, trying to do it since a week but no avail

[IbteeDApunisher]

I want to show more than 10 bars at the same time as I have 25 options. Even if they get outnumbered and disappear, that is fine but at least they should appear once. Is that possible?
