Visual representation of a Ranking over time (image provided) - python

The graph below shows a ranking of countries at 10 different points. The cool thing with this graph is that it allows you to track changes in the ranking over time. I want to create create something similar, but I have no idea how it was created...
My guess is that it was created using some design tool like adobe indesign, but my hope is that there might be some other tools for obtaining such a graphic (maybe even a way to do it within Mathematica or Python?)?
Any ideas and/or suggestions on where to look would be much appreciated.
PS: In case I did not post this in the most appropriate of stackExchange's many forums--my apology.

it is called a bump chart, you can learn how to make it with python in this article

How to make an asset allocation line graph in Python?

Can someone please let me know what kind of graph this is called?
I am running an asset allocation with different risk/return combinations and would like to show the change in asset allocation through a graph.
The graph shown has time on the x axis and I would like to change that to increase in risk (volatility) Thank you so much!
I am not sure what in Matplot this is called but have no luck finding the right graph to do so.
there is powerful package plotly. It has lots of plot types and python api, you can check examples here https://plotly.com/python/. There are some which might suit for you
Take a look to contour plot https://plotly.com/python/contour-plots/ and https://plotly.com/python/knn-classification/#probability-estimates-with-gocontour

Creating a strip chart in python along a kiloemeter segment

I am hoping to create some comparison plots using python- see the image included. They show categories with a start and end point using different colors, and divided by year, km section etc 9see image)
Could someone point me to a good starting place for this? I didn't see the right type of plot in matplotlib so I am wondering if there is another python module that could accomplish this.
This was done using a roundabout method in CAD but I'm sure there's a cleaner way in python. I'm still a beginner python user so I'm not savvy with what modules could accomplish this sort of chart

What packages and functions to use to create this diagram?

I have a Data Science related project. I need to visualize my variables. I can do it using bar charts and scatterplots, but I have been asked to make a diagram like this. The problem is, I don't even know where to begin or what packages to use. If someone can guide me, It will be great. I must use Python.

Dynamically update python plot for realtime visualization

I am a graduate student with only limited knowledge of the Python programming language. I am currently working on creating a streaming visualization of EEG data. I am able to generate the individual topographical figures using matplotlib, but cannot find a way of dynamically updating a single plot in the output at specific intervals.
Is there some way of taking a list of Figure objects and dynamically displaying each one in turn after some interval in python 2.7? Perhaps using a Graphics object similar to the ones found in Java's Swing? Or would it be better simply to save my plots as images and use JavaScript to display them as desired?
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestions you may offer.
If you want to make an animation with Python, then there are plenty of ways. For example:

a Pythonic way to draw a bump chart

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:
draw a bump chart
specify the font (Gill Sans)
specify the number of pixels per centimeter squared (about 10000)
If anyone has a package that is in the open source environment that would be the best fit for me I would be grateful.
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

thank YOU Pascal
