Treemap

Create treemaps to visualize hierarchical composition by area in BeCharts.

Back to Chart types.

Treemaps display hierarchical data using nested rectangles, where area typically encodes value.

For a full creation walkthrough with FAQs and export tips, see the treemap maker.

Data format

  • Hierarchical tree structure: name, optional value, and children
  • Example node: { name, value, children: [...] }

Import and edit support

  • Import: ❌
  • Edit: ✅ (tree editor)

Customize highlights

  • Series: label visibility, breadcrumb (when enabled), item style, emphasis
  • Levels: per-level styling (when configured)
  • Tooltip: show hierarchy path and values

Tips

  • Use treemaps when you need both hierarchy and magnitude at once.
  • Consider limiting the number of leaf nodes per level for readability.
