Treemap Chart
A Treemap chart is a type of hierarchical visualization that organizes data into nested rectangles, where the size of each rectangle reflects a quantitative value, and the color provides an additional layer of information. This chart is effective for illustrating how parts are distributed within a whole and for comparing different categories or elements within a hierarchy. There are many customization options available to adjust the chart’s appearance and functionality to meet your specific needs. These settings can be found in the Menu option, and the following sections will detail these choices.
