### Usage
All of the following examples use the [WaPo data](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/business/states-most-threatened-by-trade/states.csv?cache=1). It looks like the colums they use are scaled data and I didn't take the time to figure out what they did, so the final figure just mimics their output (including the non-annotated legend).
