 Faceting partitions data by ordinal or categorical value and then repeats a plot for each partition (each **facet**), producing [small multiples](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_multiple) for comparison. Faceting is typically enabled by declaring the horizontal↔︎ facet channel **fx**, the vertical↕︎ facet channel **fy**, or both for two-dimensional faceting.

Below, observe that the *weight* shown in the tip is a range such as 64–66 kg; however, the *frequency* is shown as the difference between the **y1** and **y2** channels. The latter is achieved by the stack transform setting a channel hint to indicate that **y1** and **y2** represent a length.
