   As Jamie says, Highcharts already supports this, you just need to loop over datasets and run Series.setData or Point.update for each step.

   But we are currently working on a set of demos to demonstrate this, which will make it easier for you to set up, as you can copy-paste from our samples.

   UPDATE 2019.27.09:
   There’s a plugin for it: https://github.com/TorsteinHonsi/Motion-Highcharts-Plugin

   This is a great idea, motion charts can make data much more engaging and easier to understand, especially for showing changes over time. It’s good to know that this can already be achieved by updating series data dynamically or using available plugins

   It’s interesting how presentation plays such a big role, whether in data visualization or even niche products, clear and unique visuals always stand out better. For example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZ276GPT

   Would love to see more built-in demos for this in Highcharts 👍
