Stacked area

Overview

The stacked area widget stacks multiple dependent variables vertically to display both individual series values and the total sum. It is suitable for showing the proportion of each item within the total alongside trends, such as the ratio of each protocol in total traffic or the distribution of event types over time.

For general information about query widgets, see Query widget.
