General comment

\n

It is not always straightforward to read the data from an area chart.

\n

The absences for School 1 can be read directly from the vertical axis.

\n

However, the absences for School 2 are shown by the height of the middle (dark blue) band at each day of the week. The lower reading must be subtracted from the upper reading. For example, there were 4 absences from School 2 on Monday, as 10 - 6 = 4.

\n

Similarly, the absences for School 3 are shown by the height of the top (yellow) band at each day of the week. For example, there were 2 absences from School 3 on Tuesday, as 16 - 14 = 2.
