U2.11
Treemaps and hierarchical area
Cards in this group · 5
- U2.11.1Treemaps encode shares as areas of nested rectangles
- U2.11.2Deep-node areas get too small to read; cap the depth
- U2.11.3Layout algorithms fix aspect ratios; thin strips resist comparison
- U2.11.4Adjacent rectangles need borders or gaps to show hierarchy
- U2.11.5Treemaps cannot show negatives or support cross-branch comparison
