How the numbers are shown

Bars share one scale for the whole race, so a country that grows never gets a shorter bar because another grew faster; arrows show places gained or lost. Only years a source actually published are shown, and only when most of the countries in the selection report them, so nothing is filled in between. In a line race the view drifts right and the scale follows the numbers on screen.
