Hi,

Can anyone give any guidance as to how the visualization of the dynamic bar graph can be created?

(The video an animation of the top 10 country GDP in a horizontal bar graph format where the top 10 countries changes from year to year based on a data table).

I am beginner to processing so any useful advice or search terminology would be helpful.

Thanks in advance
