A bump chart is a data visualization technique used to compare the ranking or position of items over time or across multiple categories. It is also known as a "slope chart" or "line chart with ranked categories".

Bump charts are typically created by plotting the position of each item on a y-axis and time or category on the x-axis. The lines connecting the items represent their change in position over time or across categories. The bumps in the lines indicate changes in rank, with higher bumps indicating a more significant change in position.

Bump charts are commonly used in sports, economics, and other fields where ranking data is important. They are also useful in showing trends and patterns in the movement of rankings over time or across categories.
