Use @datawrapper For Slopegraphs

While not perfect, I noticed that it was possible to make a pretty decent slopegraph over at [Datawrapper](http://datawrapper.de/) as I was poking at some new features they announced recently. As an example, I ran one of the charts from my [most recent](http://rud.is/b/2013/04/11/ugly-tables-vs-slopegraphs-pc-maker-shipments-marketshare/) blog post as an example.

If they had an option to do away with the gray horizontal lines, it wouldn’t be a bad slopegraph at all. I’m not sure how it’d handle overlaps, but if you have some basic data and don’t feel like messing with my Python or R code (and don’t want to do any machinations in Excel), Datawrapper might not be a bad choice.
