Part-to-Whole Composition Mechanics
A horizontal stacked bar chart maps total category lengths horizontally, subdividing each bar into segmented colored rectangles to reveal component contributions. It combines the label-readability benefits of horizontal bars with the part-to-whole decomposition of stacked bars, making it ideal for categorical data with lengthy names.
