Hello,

I posted this question on 1/8/09, but can't find it, and haven't received a
response, so, now I'm wondering it I ever actually sent it, or possibly
posted it to the wrong group...

I have a user who sent me this request:

"Can you think of any way to draw the following kind of graph?

Horizontal axis = X, vertical axis = Y.

I want to plot 20 nations by X and Y. Each nation is plotted for two years,
1980 and 2005. Thus there would be 40 points on the graph, two for each
nations (one for 1980, the other for 2005).

Id like the graph to show an arrow for each nation, running from its 1980
coordinates to its 2005 coordinates. It would be nice to label each arrow
with the name of the nation.

Any ideas?"

Here is a sample of his data:

Iceland Iceland Norway Norway Australia Australia
1980 2005 1980 2005 1980 2005
X 17 20 43 48 35 41
Y 5 7 8 12 9 15

I have only "basic" chart experience, and can't figure out how to even get
started arranging his data properly.

Does anyone know how we can achieve what he'd like to do?

Thanks for any suggestions to get us started.
