# Funnel chart

A funnel chart helps you visualize a linear process that has sequential connected stages. Each funnel stage (that is a horizontal bar) can be used to represent a percentage of the total, or the effective number for that stage.

## The Method To Use <a href="#the-method-to-use" id="the-method-to-use"></a>

The method is `s.plt.funnel()`

It must contain the following input variables:

```python
order: int
names: str
values: str
data: Union[str, DataFrame, List[Dict]]
```

And accepts the following input variables as optional:

```python
title: Optional[str]
rows_size: Optional[int] 
cols_size: Optional[int]
padding: Optional[List[int]]
option_modifications: Optional[Dict]
```
