How to use the Motion Chart
This graph allows you to see changes in data and countries over time. You can compare all indicators that feed into the Human Development Index and track specific countries from the year 1980 until our most recent HDI. The chart may be displayed in two formats: countries as bubbles or within a bar chart. Indicators can be switch on both the Y and X axis. The colour coding of the chart and the size of the bubbles can also be associated with any indicator.
This graph uses data from Human Development Report 2009.
