In this example we consider 3 groups, displayed in a pandas data frame. The first step is to normalise the data. Then it is possible to make the plot using the common stackplot() function.
# libraries
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import pandas as pd
# Make data
data = pd.DataFrame({ 'group_A':[1,4,6,8,9], 'group_B':[2,24,7,10,12], 'group_C':[2,8,5,10,6], }, index=range(1,6))
# We need to transform the data from raw data to percentage (fraction)
data_perc = data.divide(data.sum(axis=1), axis=0)
# Make the plot
plt.stackplot(range(1,6), data_perc["group_A"], data_perc["group_B"], data_perc["group_C"], labels=['A','B','C'])
plt.legend(loc='upper left')
plt.margins(0,0)
plt.title('100 % stacked area chart')
plt.show()
