Dumbbell plot

Description

Dumbbell plot [1] (also known as Dumbbell chart, Connected dot plot) is great for displaying changes between two points in time, two conditions or differences between two groups.

Example:

Pointers

• Ideally, you start prototyping in a scripting or notebook environment where you can iterate fast. installation instructions can be found here: https://plotly.net/#Installation
• Charts like this that are using baseline trace types to create a new chart type should only be implemented in the top-level Chart API. An example where this is already done is the Range chart that combines a set of differently styled line charts.
• When possible, use #IConvertible for data input, as this allows for strings, number types such as int and float, and DateTime.

Inizia in src/Plotly.NET/ChartAPI/Chart2D.fs, soprattutto con l’implementazione di Chart.Range a cui fa riferimento l’issue. Prototipa il grafico in un ambiente di scripting o notebook seguendo le istruzioni di installazione di Plotly.NET e verifica come vengono combinati i grafici a linee di baseline. Il lavoro è completato quando è disponibile un’API di grafici Dumbbell di alto livello con input #IConvertible flessibili e mostra le connessioni tra i due punti descritte nell’issue.
