Hungarian Rhumbs

A graph showing the distance from Budapest against the bearing from Budapest
Hungarian Rhumbs: A graph showing the distance along the rhumb line (not the shortest great-circle distance), against the bearing from Budapest to other European capital cities. Made for day 28 - Is this a chart or a map? - of the 2023 #30DayMapChallenge.

commentsToo lazy to manually place labels, I resorted to the adjustText library. This ensures none overlap, but the result is a bit chaotic. In the absence of a colorbar showing that the cities are coloured according to their bearing, I perhaps shouldn't have used colours
