What it is
Pyramid Area Chart renders categories as overlapping pyramid silhouettes along a baseline. Magnitude is encoded by height and width — the look of an architectural section drawing, the function of a bar chart.
What it does
Overlapping pyramid silhouettes per category sized by metric, with theme-aware colors and labels.
