Stack 3d
How to read it
Every block is the same amount (the key says how much), every stack has the same footprint, so height is the amount; each stack prints its total and its block count. On the live chart, drag to turn it.
Best for
One to four physical amounts — tonnes, litres, cubic metres — so large that a plain number means nothing.
When not to use it
The values are rates or shares, or so close that the stacks look the same.
The common mistake
Judging by the stack's volume instead of its height: the footprints are equal, so only height carries the amount.
