Pie Chart - Multi-pattern Bar

The multi-pattern bar plot is designed to display the same type of data as the values pie chart (see Pie Chart - Values or 2D Histograms ), however, the consecutive values are represented by the height of vertical bars (of different colors and patterns) and not areas of pie slices.

Their advantage over pie charts is that they may allow for more precise comparisons between presented values (e.g., small pie slices may be difficult to compare if they are not adjacent). This type of graph may also have advantages over regular histograms (where one fill pattern and color is used for all columns), in cases when quick identification of specific columns is desired.
