Area Bar Chart

[Area Bar Chart]

This area bar chart reveals three geographic sites (Lima, NY, Rome) along the horizontal axis. The width of each bar represents the sum of the salespersons assigned to each site. The height of each bar represents the sum of the sales for each site. The chart shows that NY had the greatest sales, as well as the greatest number of sales persons.
