Percent-change chart generator

Visual Encoding & Comparative Anatomy

A percent-change chart visualizes the relative percentage increase or decrease of one or more series from a baseline period. By centering the Y-axis at 0% and anchoring the initial observation of each series to this origin, it enables direct visual comparison of growth trajectories across metrics with completely different units or magnitudes.
