    The total height represents sales of each format in relation to the others. The timeline isn’t the zero line like you might be thinking. $0 would be the bottom of the graph at any given time.

      Effectively a stacked bar chart/area chart, but with “pizzaz” that makes it less readable.

        I suppose, but I think it’s a really nice visual that gets the point across just fine for this level of discussion.
