Add Ribbon/Alluvial/Bump Chart to Graph Builder

[jthi]

I would like to have possibility to use similar visualization as PowerBI provides with Ribbon Chart which is quite close to ordered stacked bar chart with some visualization between different bars (easier to see changes over x-axis than cluster bar charts).

Some links regarding the PowerBI version Create ribbon charts in Power BI (learn.microsoft.com) and Ribbon Chart is the Next Generation of Stacked Column Chart (radacad.com) .

Below is an example using JMP's Failures sample data:

PowerBI ribbon chart:

 I tried to find what name that chart usually has and I came across Bump Chart, area bump chart, alluvial diagram and sankey bump chart. Bump chart and alluvial seem to be quite different but I think they are also visualizations that could have their place JMP's Graph Builder.

This could be a good chart to visualize how, for example, a Pareto analysis changes over time.

Thumbs up from my side.

first step: common scale setting for parallel plot :)

Problems with parallel graphs: Continuity and similar scale 

with the current parallel plot settings, the user would not detect that the values were lower in April ...

Hi,

Are there any updates on this?

What was the outcome of the investigation?
