Simulated home power draw by device category, over a single day — illustrative, not measured. Switching to "Overlapping Lines" draws the exact same three series as plain lines instead: notice how the individual HVAC/Lighting/Electronics shapes are actually easier to compare that way, but the *combined* household draw at any hour — the thing stackedArea shows directly as the height of the whole stack — disappears entirely once the lines are just laid on top of each other.
