Stacked Vertical Bar Charts

A stacked vertical bar chart consists of bars that are composed of individual segments that are stacked together to form the total bar height. This type of chart is often used to present basic measurements over time, where each measurement value is accumulated from distinct parts.

For example, the number of batch job executions by month might be charted with the bars segmented by job class (that is, each bar is composed of a segment for each job class). The relative sizes of the bar segments illustrate the percentage of jobs that are executed by class. Thus this chart could illustrate workload growth (jobs/month), the type of jobs contributing to this growth (class x jobs/month), and changes in the composition of the workload (relative contribution from each job class). The chart bars can represent actual values, percentages of the total value, or cumulative percentages. Parameters are provided to control the chart axis scale, data element labels, printed value formats, the color, and pattern that is used to fill the bars, and the color of chart text.
Sample Stacked Vertical Bar Chart is a sample stacked vertical bar chart showing TCB CPU time and SRB CPU time by program. The program names are on the X-axis and CPU usage is on the Y-axis. The total bar height represents total CPU usage for a program (TCB CPU time plus SRB CPU time).
