A stacked area chart displays multiple data series as areas stacked on top of each other, with each series starting where the previous one ends. This visualization emphasizes both individual contributions and cumulative totals over a continuous axis (typically time). It is ideal for showing how parts contribute to a whole while tracking changes over time, making patterns of composition and overall trends immediately visible.
