Treemap

Treemaps display data hierarchically as nested rectangles. They are commonly used to represent proportions, sizes, or values of categories within a hierarchy. For example, a treemap chart can show the market share of different product categories within various regions, with each rectangle representing a category and its size indicating the relative proportion.

Treemaps have the following sections:

• Metrics
• View by
• Segment by
• Configuration

In treemaps, you can also:

• Display the values as a percentage.

  To do so, add a date or an attribute to the View by section.

• Segment a treemap by attributes. The treemap shows the attributes as different shades of a color.

  To add attributes to the Segment by section, you must have only one item in the Metrics section.

• In Configuration > Colors and Fills > Fill, you can choose how chart segments are displayed:

  • Pattern fill: Replaces solid colors with patterns (like crosshatching). This makes values easier to tell apart because they differ by both color and texture.
  • Outline fill: Tones down solid colors and shows emphasized outlines. This style is useful when you want to overlap another chart (for example, a line chart on top of a column chart) because it improves contrast and separation.
  
  

  See the Change Chart Fills section for further details.

• In Configuration > Canvas > Labels style, you can choose Backplate to add a background behind chart labels. This makes labels easier to read because the backplate (white by default) creates higher contrast with the chart colors.
