Like [[Pie Chart]]s, this note is basically here for completeness of [[Diagram Types (index)]]. Also like [[Pie Chart]]s, area charts show the relative frequency of classes in a dataset. Area charts are more useful for higher numbers of classes (or categories) than does a pie chart. Really, when you find yourself making a pie chart with more than [[Decomposition Quote|~5-to-7 categories]], you should switch to using an area chart. Area charts can be made using Excel, but not [[Mermaid JS]]. **** # More ## Source - self ## Related - [[Diagram Types (index)]]
