Reading the chart

What this example shows

Engineering and Sales together take roughly two thirds of the budget, obvious from area alone.
The four smallest departments are still individually labelled — a pie chart would have reduced them to unreadable slivers.
Area comparisons across different rectangle shapes are harder than bar lengths. Use a bar chart when exact ranking matters.
