+Bar charts with custom widths can be used to make mekko charts (also known as marimekko charts, mosaic plots, or variwide charts).
+
+```python
+import plotly.graph_objects as go
+import numpy as np
+
+labels = ["apples","oranges","pears","bananas"]
+widths = np.array([10,20,20,50])
+
+data = {
+    "South": [50,80,60,70],
+    "North": [50,20,40,30]
+}
+
+fig = go.Figure()
+for key in data:
+    fig.add_trace(go.Bar(
+        name=key,
+        y=data[key],
+        x=np.cumsum(widths)-widths,
+        width=widths,
+        offset=0,
+        customdata=np.transpose([labels, widths*data[key]]),
+        texttemplate="%{y} x %{width} =<br>%{customdata[1]}",
+        textposition="inside",
+        textangle=0,
+        textfont_color="white",

+            "area: %{customdata[1]}",
+        ])
