Overview

Stack Ledger Bars is Plotcn's canonical absolute stacked bar component for visualizing additive categorical composition. It answers the fundamental analytical question:

“What is the total magnitude for each category, and how do additive contributors compose that total?”

Secondary analytical questions answered by this component include:

  • “How much does each contributor add to the category whole?”
  • “How does the internal composition differ from category to category?”
  • “At this inspected category, what are the exact contributor magnitudes and the resulting total?”

The word Ledger reinforces disciplined accounting of composition: each category represents a whole assembled from meaningfully summable parts. Contributor segment thickness encodes contribution magnitude, the outer stack extent encodes the category total, series configuration order strictly governs vertical stacking, and missing values are never silently converted into fake zero contributions.

Bar-Family Positioning

The Bar family specializes in discrete categorical comparison. Within this family, each component fulfills an unambiguous, distinct analytical specialization:

Component Registry ID Primary Analytical Question Baseline Model Geometric Encoding
ComponentRegistry IDPrimary Analytical QuestionBaseline ModelGeometric Encoding
Signal Bars (019)bar-signal"How do discrete categories compare on single or grouped measures?"Grounded ZeroGrouped peer bars side-by-side
Rank Bars (020)bar-rank"Which categories perform highest or lowest in top-N rank?"Grounded ZeroSorted horizontal bars
Group Compare (021)bar-group-compare"How do peer measures compare directly against each other?"Grounded ZeroMulti-series clustered bars
Stack Ledger (022)bar-stack-ledger"How do additive contributors compose the category total?"Grounded ZeroAdditive vertical/horizontal stack

Grouped Bars vs. Stacked Ledger Bars

The distinction between grouped bars (bar-group-compare / bar-signal) and stacked bars (bar-stack-ledger) is foundational to data visualization integrity:

ANALYTICAL INTENTPeer Comparison vs. Additive Composition

Grouped Bars (021) vs. Stacked Ledger Bars (022)

Comparison between Grouped Compare Bars and Stack Ledger Bars. Grouped bars place peer measures side-by-side from a common baseline to answer how peers compare. Stack Ledger bars assemble additive contributors into one column to communicate whole-part composition and category total.

021Group Compare BarsQuestion: “How do peer measures compare?”0604025Category AlphaAll bars share zero baseline; direct visual comparison022Stack Ledger BarsQuestion: “How do additive parts compose the total?”0Total = 125Category AlphaSegments compose one whole; outer edge encodes total
  • Grouped Bars: Place peer measures side-by-side. Every bar originates directly from the common zero baseline, prioritizing visual comparison of individual series values across categories.
  • Stacked Ledger Bars: Place additive contributors on top of each other. Individual segments sacrifice baseline alignment in order to visually communicate the cumulative category total and whole-part composition.

Absolute Stacking Principle

Plotcn intentionally specializes StackLedgerBars away from generic stackMode abstractions. The component does not expose toggles for:

TSX
// Disallowed on StackLedgerBars:stackMode="none"stackMode="grouped"stackMode="percent"

Why Absolute-Only Matters

Suppose a cloud infrastructure bill contains:

Compute=$48k,Storage=$32k,Network=$20k\text{Compute} = \$48\text{k}, \quad \text{Storage} = \$32\text{k}, \quad \text{Network} = \$20\text{k}

StackLedgerBars communicates:

Total=$100k\text{Total} = \$100\text{k}

alongside physical contributor magnitudes (\48k, \32k, \$20k).

A 100% normalized stacked bar chart would instead transform these values into percentages (48%, 32%, 20%), intentionally removing all absolute volume context. Comparing absolute volume and comparing relative share are two different analytical tasks that belong in dedicated components, never hidden behind a single confusing toggle.

Stack Composition Model

Governing Principle: Each category contains exactly one stack. Every segment represents an additive contributor. Segment thickness encodes contribution magnitude, and the outer stack extent encodes the category total.
COMPOSITION MODELSegment Thickness & Outer Extent

Additive Composition: Parts Assembled into a Truthful Whole

Compute
Storage
Network

Stack Ledger Bars composition model diagram showing three additive contributors (Compute, Storage, Network) forming one category stack. Segment thickness encodes contributor magnitude while the outer stack extent encodes the total sum of 100.

1007550250253045Q1Outer Stack Extent = Total (100)Total magnitude directly readable along Y-axis scaleNetwork: 25 (top segment owns outer corner radius)Storage: 30 (segment thickness encodes contribution)Compute: 45 (grounded firmly at zero baseline)LEDGER ACCOUNTINGCompute : 45Storage : 30Network : 25Total : 100

In StackLedgerBars:

  • Stacks originate firmly from a truthful zero baseline (B0=0B_0 = 0).
  • All contributor bars share one deterministic internal stack identifier: stackId="ledger".
  • The outermost visible segment receives subtle corner rounding ([4, 4, 0, 0] in vertical layout; [0, 4, 4, 0] in horizontal layout). Interior segments remain flat to prevent visually decomposing the stack into disconnected pills.
  • Contributor segments visually join with a subtle 1px structural boundary (stroke="var(--background)"), ensuring that adjacent segments remain distinct even when monochrome or identical color palettes are applied.

Additive Data Contract

Stacking inherently implies mathematical addition. Plotcn never infers additivity from field names or property types. When a developer chooses StackLedgerBars, they make an explicit semantic assertion that the configured series represent mutually exclusive and summable parts of a single quantitative whole:

DATA SAFETY CONTRACTSummability Invariant

The Additive Contract: Meaningful Sums vs. Incompatible Metrics

Additive contract diagram showing that Stack Ledger Bars requires mutually exclusive and summable metrics such as Compute, Storage, and Network costs. Non-additive metrics such as Revenue, Conversion Rate, and Latency must never be stacked because their sum is mathematically meaningless.

Valid Additive CompositionShared quantitative unit and mutually exclusive partsCompute Cost$48,000Storage Cost$31,000Network Cost$21,000SUM: $100,000 Total Infrastructure CostTotal represents real physical wholeInvalid: Incompatible DimensionsDiffering units, rates, or overlapping domainsMonthly Revenue$40,000Conversion Rate30%API Latency20msSUM: $40,000 + 30% + 20ms = NonsenseDo not stack rates, percentages, or dissimilar units

Valid Additive Datasets

  • Cloud Spending: Compute Cost + Storage Cost + Network Cost = Total Infrastructure Cost.
  • Website Traffic Sessions: Desktop Sessions + Mobile Sessions + Tablet Sessions = Total Traffic.
  • Support Tickets: Bug Tickets + Feature Inquiries + Account Issues = Total Inbound Volume.

Invalid Stacking Attempts

  • Non-summable Metrics: Revenue (\$40k) + Conversion Rate (30%) + API Latency (20ms). These belong to completely different units and can never be summed.
  • Overlapping or Peer Series: Current Year Revenue + Previous Year Revenue. These are benchmark peers and belong in TwinlineCompare or GroupCompareBars.
  • Pre-computed Averages or Percentages: Stacking percentages or averages produces a mathematically misleading composite.

Series Order & Stable Stack Identity

In Plotcn, series configuration order defines stack order deterministically:

series=[Compute,Storage,Network]    BottomMiddleTop\text{series} = [\text{Compute}, \text{Storage}, \text{Network}] \implies \text{Bottom} \to \text{Middle} \to \text{Top}
SERIES INVARIANCENo Magnitude Reordering

Stable Stack Order: Series Configuration Governs Stacking

Diagram showing three categories Q1, Q2, and Q3 with changing contributor magnitudes. Across all categories, Compute is at the bottom, Storage in the middle, and Network on top. The chart never dynamically reorders segments by magnitude.

0Compute 50Storage 30Net 20Q1 (Compute > Storage > Net)Compute 20Storage 60Net 30Q2 (Storage is largest)Compute 35Storage 25Net 40Q3 (Network is largest)Stack Order = [Compute → Storage → Network] across ALL categories. Never reordered by magnitude.

Even when individual contributor magnitudes fluctuate dramatically from category to category—for example, if Storage is smallest in Q1 but becomes largest in Q2—the visual stack order remains Compute at bottom, Storage in middle, Network on top.

Why Stacks Must Never Dynamically Reorder by Magnitude

  1. Semantic Spatial Anchoring: Users rely on consistent spatial coordinates to track series over time or categories. Reordering segments destroys cognitive tracking.
  2. Color Invariance: Reordering segments creates chaotic color patterns that look like visual bugs.
  3. Tooltip Alignment: The tooltip and the visual stack reinforce each other when both preserve the exact same canonical series order.

V1 Sign Model & Non-Negative Contract

Stack Ledger Bars V1 enforces a strict mathematical sign policy:

V1 supports non-negative additive contributions only (V0V \ge 0).

A classic stacked ledger answers how positive parts compose a whole. Negative contributions introduce diverging variance or waterfall semantics (subtraction, adjustments, deficit), which require dedicated visualization mechanics.

Therefore:

  • V>0V > 0: Valid positive contribution.
  • V=0V = 0: Valid zero contribution (preserves total).
  • V<0V < 0: Unsupported in V1.

If a negative finite value is encountered in the dataset:

  • Plotcn invalidates the complete total for that category.
  • A development console warning alerts the developer:
TEXT
[Plotcn StackLedgerBars] Negative contributor values detected in dataset.  StackLedgerBars V1 supports non-negative additive contributions only.  Categories with negative values are marked incomplete.
  • Negative values are never clamped to zero, never transformed with Math.abs(), and never allowed to render as deceptive positive bars.

Missing vs. Zero vs. Hidden

A primary source of silent data distortion in chart libraries is collapsing missing, zero, and hidden states into one another. In Plotcn, these three states represent fundamentally different analytical realities:

SEMANTIC TRIADThree Fundamental States

Missing vs. Zero vs. Hidden: Three Distinct Analytical Realities

Three panel diagram contrasting Zero, Missing, and Hidden states. Zero represents a measured value of 0 and valid total. Missing represents expected data that is unrecorded, invalidating the total. Hidden represents an available contributor intentionally excluded by the user, updating the visible total.

0Zero Value• Configured: Yes• Measured: 0 (real measurement)• Contribution: Zero thickness• Category Total: Valid (sum includes 0)• Tooltip: $0Valid observation with zero magnitude?Missing Value• Configured: Yes• Measured: null / undefined / NaN• Contribution: Unknown• Category Total: Unavailable• Tooltip: UnavailableMust never silently coerce to 0Hidden Contributor• Configured: Yes• Measured: Available• Exclusion: User toggle via legend• Category Total: Visible total updates• Colors: Preserved strictlyRecomposes stack without changing identity

1. Zero Value (V=0V = 0)

  • Status: Configured, measured, available.
  • Meaning: The contributor contributed zero magnitude to this category.
  • Rendering: Zero visual thickness. Tooltip displays $0. Category total remains valid.

2. Missing Value (null / undefined / NaN)

  • Status: Configured, expected, unrecorded.
  • Meaning: The actual contributor value is unknown.
  • Default Policy ("incomplete"): Because an additive whole cannot be truthfully calculated without all its parts, missing data invalidates the category total. Tooltip displays Unavailable — incomplete composition.
  • Opt-in Policy ("zero"): If the developer explicitly supplies missingValuePolicy="zero", missing values are treated as $0 contribution.

3. Hidden Contributor (User Legend Toggle)

  • Status: Configured, available, intentionally excluded by the user.
  • Meaning: The user temporarily filtered out a contributor to examine the subtotal of the remaining parts.
  • Rendering: The stack recomposes immediately. Outer extent encodes the Visible total. Tooltip displays Visible total rather than Total. Colors and stack order of remaining series remain strictly stable.

Complete vs. Incomplete Composition Geometry

When a visible contributor is missing under default missingValuePolicy="incomplete", how should the chart render that category?

GEOMETRIC INTEGRITYTruthful Missing Geometry

Complete vs. Incomplete Composition: Preventing Visual Deception

Diagram showing Q1 complete, Q2 with missing contributor Storage, and Q3 complete. Under default policy, Q2 stack geometry is omitted rather than rendering a shorter deceptive bar, while the category band remains inspectable and tooltips report incomplete composition.

090Q1CompleteStack OmittedStorage is MissingBand Still InspectableUnavailableQ2Incomplete110Q3Complete

Recharts by default treats null as $0$, which would silently render a shorter bar whose top looks like a real, smaller total. This is severe visual misinformation.

StackLedgerBars resolves this truthfully:

  • Omitted Stack Geometry: Under "incomplete" policy, the physical stacked rectangles are omitted for that category.
  • Preserved Category Band: The category band and axis tick remain fully present, interactive, and focusable.
  • Truthful Tooltip: Hovering or focusing the category reveals the exact status: known values are listed, missing values show Unavailable, and the total is labeled Unavailable — incomplete composition.

Interactive Legend & Visible Totals

StackLedgerBars includes an interactive, accessible legend by default (showLegend = true):

INTERACTIVE VISIBILITYComposition Recomputation

Legend Visibility: Outer Extent Recomputes as Visible Total

Legend visibility diagram showing how hiding Network contributor changes the stack height from 100 to 80. The outer extent now encodes Visible Total 80, Storage becomes the top segment and receives the outer corner radius, while colors and identities remain stable.

All 3 Contributors VisibleNetwork: On • Storage: On • Compute: On0Total: 100Q1 StackHide NetworkNetwork Contributor HiddenNetwork: Off • Storage: On • Compute: On0Visible: 80Q1 RecomposedStorage receives top radius; colors preserved

When a contributor (e.g. Network) is toggled off:

  1. Stack Recomposition: Remaining visible series (Compute + Storage) animate to form the new stack height.
  2. Outer Radius Transfer: The new highest visible series (Storage) automatically inherits the outer rounded corners.
  3. Visible Total Semantics: The tooltip updates its summary row from Total to Visible total, ensuring users know a contributor is excluded.
  4. Stable Color Mapping: Compute remains --chart-1 and Storage remains --chart-2. Hiding series never triggers color cycling.
  5. Recoverable All-Hidden State: If all series are hidden, the chart displays a clean recoverable message: "All contributors are currently hidden" with a "Show all" button.

Hit Testing & Touch Architecture

Stacked bars often contain slim or tiny contributor segments. Requiring users to click a 3px segment on mobile creates frustrating dead clicks.

HIT TESTING ARCHITECTUREForgiving Category Band + Segment Focus

Two-Tier Hit Testing: Category Band Target with Contributor Identity

Hit testing diagram showing a broad 56px category band hit target enabling forgiving touch and pointer inspection, combined with fine-grained segment detection for emphasizing individual series rows in the tooltip.

0Tier 1: Category Band Target (Forgiving)• Broad vertical slot (140px) captures any pointer/touch• Never requires pixel-hunting on slim or tiny contributors• Instantly triggers complete category composition cardTier 2: Segment Precise Target (Optional)• Exact rectangle hover highlights specific contributor row• Propagates to legend item and tooltip markerActive Category Band

StackLedgerBars implements a robust two-tier hit testing architecture:

  1. Tier 1 — Category Band Target (Forgiving): A wide vertical hit region (44px+) captures any pointer or touch event across the category slot, instantly opening the composition card.
  2. Tier 2 — Segment Hover (Secondary): Hovering directly over an individual segment highlights that specific contributor row in the tooltip and legend without altering quantitative geometry.
  3. Mobile Scroll Preservation: The chart container uses touch-action: pan-y, ensuring vertical page scrolling is never trapped by the visualization surface.

Layout: Vertical vs. Horizontal Orientation

StackLedgerBars supports both vertical and horizontal orientations via the layout prop:

RESPONSIVE LAYOUTConcise vs. Lengthy Categorical Labels

Vertical vs. Horizontal Orientation: Tailored to Label Footprint

Layout diagram illustrating vertical and horizontal orientations. Vertical layout is best for concise category labels like quarters and months. Horizontal layout provides ample space for long enterprise category labels without cramped diagonal typography.

Vertical Layout (Default)Best for compact labels: Q1, Q2, Jan, FebQ1Q2Q3Horizontal Layout (layout="horizontal")Best for lengthy enterprise department & squad namesInfrastructure OpsCustomer SuccessProduct Engineering
  • layout="vertical" (Default): Categories are arranged along the horizontal X-axis, and stacks grow vertically. Best for concise labels like quarters, months, and short identifiers.
  • layout="horizontal": Categories are placed along the vertical Y-axis, and stacks extend horizontally to the right. Essential for lengthy categorical labels (e.g. enterprise departments, microservice names, long team titles) to eliminate cramped diagonal typography.

Data Safety Checklist

StackLedgerBars enforces 20 architectural invariants to guarantee visual and statistical truthfulness:

  • [x] Additive Semantics: Stacking communicates additive composition; Plotcn never infers additivity from field names.
  • [x] Category Invariance: Caller category order is preserved strictly without automatic ranking or sorting.
  • [x] Stack Order Invariance: Series configuration order governs stacking; segments never dynamically sort by magnitude.
  • [x] Zero Anchored: The quantitative baseline is firmly fixed at zero (B0=0B_0 = 0).
  • [x] V1 Non-Negative: Contributor values must be 0\ge 0. Negative values trigger dev warnings and invalidate totals.
  • [x] No Negative Clamping: Negative values are never clamped to zero or converted via Math.abs().
  • [x] Zero is Valid: A measured zero represents legitimate $0 magnitude and does not invalidate totals.
  • [x] Missing is Not Zero: Missing values are not quietly converted to zero under default policy.
  • [x] Truthful Incomplete Geometry: Incomplete categories omit stack geometry to prevent deceptive shorter bars.
  • [x] Opt-In Zero Policy: Coercing missing values to zero requires explicit developer opt-in (missingValuePolicy="zero").
  • [x] Nonfinite Sanitization: NaN, Infinity, and -Infinity are sanitized before reaching SVG geometry.
  • [x] Validated Totals: Totals are computed solely from validated, finite, visible contributors.
  • [x] Visible Total Labeling: Hiding a series updates tooltip language from "Total" to "Visible total".
  • [x] Stable Color Mapping: Toggling series in the legend never reassigns colors of remaining contributors.
  • [x] Same-Color Boundaries: A 1px structural stroke ensures adjacent same-color segments remain distinct.
  • [x] Outer Radius Ownership: Only the outermost visible segment receives rounded corners.
  • [x] Quantitative Truth: Tiny values are never artificially inflated to ensure clickability.
