Vertical Partition Chart

Vertical Partition Chart displays hierarchical data in vertically distributed levels. While not the most visually appealing, the chart gives a very clear view into the values comprising the higher levels.

Key implementation details

Partition charts are part of the hierarchy module of amCharts Charts package. To create a partition chart we just add a Container and then add a Partition object into it. orientation: "vertical" setting makes the partition vertical. All that’s left is to specify the valueField, categoryField, and childDataField to bind the chart to the data.
