Rectangular Tree Chart

Application Scenario

Rectangular tree charts are used to illustrate the proportion relationship of data with hierarchical structures and can display the lower-level data through hierarchical drilling.

For example, you can use rectangular tree charts to display the contract amount. The same color represents a year and each square of the same color represents a category of products. Rectangular tree charts can help you clearly view the contract amount of a year and a product type through the size of rectangular blocks. The effect preview is as follows.

Basic Requirement

Basic requirements for rectangular tree charts are as follows.

Chart Feature
