Hi! I am quite new to Kibana. But I must say I really like its diversity and possibilites. Lets say I would like to visualize inequalities e.g. income over population. I have heard that this could be achieved by using a Lorenz Curve, that plots the cumulative sum of income in percent on the Y - axis, and the cumulative sum of people in percent on the X- axis. ![Lorenz](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/0/8/08bcb6287ba08c888ae4fe6688c86ee1fa24133f.png) If read from left to right, for each percent of population added, some income would be added, and a perfectly equal curve would have a slope of 1. A perfectly unequal curve would mean that every person has 0 income exept 1 that has all the income. In reality all countries has some unequal distribution and I think this curve is a great way to show it. Is this something that we could plot in Kibana? Kind regards Andreas ---
