The idea
A stream graph is a stacked area chart centred on a middle line, with smooth curves, so the layers flow like a river. It suits many categories over a long time and shows rhythm more than exact values. Label the biggest streams directly.
Where to use it
- Topics rising and falling over years
- Music or media genres over time
- Many categories across a long period
- Visual overviews of change in composition
