Treemap

Use a tree map visualization to identify patterns and exceptions in a large, complex data asset.

Treemaps show relationships among large numbers of components by using size and color coding in a set of nested rectangles.

A treemap that is colored by category identifies the level 1 category by color. The sizes of the rectangles represent the values. In a treemap that is colored by value, the sizes of the rectangles represent one of the values and the color represents a second set of values. Do not use data that includes negative numbers. A treemap ignores negative numbers.

For example, this treemap visualization shows course cost by organizational unit.
