Observable Plot: Waffle mark (via) New feature in Observable Plot 0.6.16: the waffle mark! I really like this one. Here's an example showing the gender and weight of athletes in this year's Olympics:

Displays weight distribution data for males and females using small colored squares stacked to form columns, with blue representing females and orange representing males. The x-axis shows weight from 30 to 170, while the y-axis indicates frequency up to 2,800. The distribution forms a bell curve, with females peaking at lower weights than males, and clear differences visible between the genders, especially at weight extremes.
