New Visual – 100% Stacked Area Chart

Introducing the newest addition to the core visuals gallery: the 100% Stacked Area Chart. This visual tool displays the relative percentage of multiple data series in stacked areas, ensuring that the total always equals 100%. It's designed to offer a clear insight into how different parts contribute to the whole over time. Users can easily locate it in the visual gallery, on-object dialog, or format pane, conveniently placed next to the regular Stacked Area Chart.

Additionally, users can employ Monotone and the new Cardinal smooth type for smoother lines with complete control.
