Issue Type

Documentation Improvement

Description

The Net Worth graph supports both a "Trend" and "Stacked" mode, which is not documented. I've struggled to find good uses for the stacked mode, and find the results hard to read - especially if mixing normal accounts with accounts with debt. I gathered from a discussion on the Discord, that other people find the Stacked mode hard to use as well.

Expected/Desired Content

It would be nice to have some examples of good uses of the stacked mode as well caveats to be aware of when mixing normal accounts with accounts with debt.

Screenshots or Examples

Example of stacked graph, which works and is informative:

Example of stacked graph with a "Mortage" and "House Asset" account, which is hard to interpret:
