Horizontal Stacked Bar Graphs for Category Breakdown

Stacked percent bar graphs are a type of chart that shows the proportion of different categories as parts of a whole. Each bar is divided into segments representing percentages, with all bars scaled to 100%. This makes it easy to compare relative contributions of categories across different groups or time periods.
