Marimekko charts

Marimekko charts are able to consolidate two 100% stacked bar charts into one. Consolidating two related metrics helps in presenting the information concisely to viewers and results in eye-catching visuals.

Rationale

Although LetsPlot certainly has the tools to create them, the number of data transformations needed might make Marimekko Bars a good addition to the Bistro Plots module.

Expected inputs

Marimekko charts take four inputs:

• Labels to use for the X axis.
• An X axis metric which needs to be accumulated up to the plot size / Alternatively the number of entries of the label is counted.
• Labels to use for the Y axis.
• An Y axis metric which needs to be accumulated up to the plot size / Alternatively the number of entries of the label is counted.

Examples

Asset manager regions vs Asset managers per region

Exported product distribution vs Main exporters per product

Renewable energy jobs vs region distribution for each energy type
