Double-stacked Negative Bar Chart
When you're comparing two opposing groups—like male vs. female, or positive vs. negative sentiment—across categories like age, region, or time, it can be tough to clearly show both sides of the story in one view, making comparisons harder and more time-consuming.
The Double-stacked Negative Bar Chart solves this by placing two related groups on opposite sides of a central axis, making it easy to compare distributions side by side. Perfect for Double-stacked Negative Bar Charts, sentiment analysis, or any binary breakdown, this chart type gives you a clear visual of ratios and trends across multiple segments, helping you quickly spot imbalances or shifts at a glance.
