Waterfall chart

The movements between two totals, each bar floating on the running total before it.

A row marked isTotal draws from zero to the running total as it stands and leaves that total untouched, so a closing or subtotal row needs no value of its own; an opening balance is a movement like any other and reads as the rise it is. Rises, falls, and totals wear the success, danger, and primary tokens, and every bar is captioned with its signed movement, which its height alone cannot say. Neither bar animates: they float, and growing each one from the baseline draws a different chart on the way up. Past about ten movements the bars stop being readable — summarise first. toWaterfallData is exported and tested, and the data is also rendered as a visually hidden list with the running total on every row.

 * 1.14. That air never takes the axis across zero, which a level that does
