A BarMekko chart renders a single series as proportionally sized bars, making it easy to compare both value and relative weight across categories. Custom weights can control each bar's width independently of its value.
This sample charts projected annual growth in U.S. federal budget spending for 2014–2018 by category, including Health Care, Education, Defense, and Welfare. An explicit weight array sets bar widths, white centered labels show positive and negative percentage changes, and a formatted tooltip displays the exact growth value on hover.
