Normalized Parallel Coordinates
-------------------------------
A `Parallel Coordinates <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_coordinates>`_
chart is a chart that lets you visualize the individual data points by drawing
a single line for each of them.

Such a chart can be created in Altair by first transforming the data into a
suitable representation.

This example shows a modified parallel coordinates chart with the Penguins dataset,
where the y-axis shows the value after min-max rather than the raw value. It's a
simplified Altair version of `the VegaLite version <https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/examples/parallel_coordinate.html>`_
