Yeah, I wish. This is more likely a Sankey Diagram, which is used to indicate flows of energy, money, etc. We might look into using curved lines in the future; we should also figure out a better way of labeling, especially for larger display and/or print. This gets a lot trickier when doing it automatically and for potentially large numbers of categories and combinations.
Combining Parallel Sets/Sankey with bar charts is not a bad idea, but I’m not sure I like the way they do it here. Having the bars vertical would have made more sense to be able to compare them better.
