Stacked Area Graph

Layers of areas that show how the parts of a total change over time.

The idea

A stacked area graph piles each series on top of the one below, so you see both the overall size and how every part contributes through time. The proportional version fixes the total at 100% to show shifts in share. Limit the number of layers, since only the bottom one shares a baseline.

Where to use it

  • Revenue by product line over the years
  • Energy mix or budget split by period
  • Market share shifts between competitors
  • Audience or traffic broken down by source
