Treemap Chart
A Treemap chart is a hierarchical visualization that uses nested rectangles to represent data in a tree structure, where the size of each rectangle reflects a quantitative magnitude, and the color can show an additional dimension of the data. This type of chart is useful for showing how parts are distributed within a whole and how different categories or elements compare within a hierarchy. These charts offer a variety of options to customize several aspects of the Treemap chart to adjust its appearance and functionality according to your specific needs. These configurations can be found in the Menu option. The following sections will detail these options:
