Treemap Chart


Treemap

1.1 Use Cases

Treemaps are renowned for their unique hierarchical structure and intuitive data visualization, enabling users to easily comprehend complex data architectures and distributions.

  • Single-dimension treemap (Figure 1) is ideal for analyzing and displaying data distributions. It helps users quickly identify key data points and understand proportions across different segments. This type is particularly useful for scenarios such as departmental performance analysis or product category sales breakdowns, providing a clear overview of overall data.

  • Dual-dimension treemap (Figure 2) enhances data visualization depth by incorporating two hierarchical dimensions. It not only displays data layers for each dimension but also illustrates relationships and variations through block sizes and color gradients. This chart is especially suited for complex business scenarios, such as analyzing regional sales performance alongside product line metrics, delivering granular and comprehensive insights.
