Building a stacked area chart
In the Creating an area chart recipe in Chapter 8, Chart Them Up, we have explored how a basic layered area chart can be implemented using D3. In this recipe, we will build over what we have learned in the area chart recipe to implement a stacked area chart. Stacked area chart is a variation of the standard area chart in which different areas are stacked on top of each other giving your audience not only the ability to compare different data series individually but also their relationship to the total in proportion.
