Treemap

A Treemap divides a rectangle into subrectangles. The size of each rectangle is determined by an array of data values. The color of each subrectangle is determined by the value of a second data array and a Colormap.

The primary data array is a sorted set of values to map to the subrectangle areas. The placement algorithm is adapted from Bruls, Mark and Huizing, Kees and Wijk, Jarke J. van (2000) Squarified Treemaps. In Proceedings of the Joint Eurographics and IEEE TCVG Symposium on Visualization.

By default, the algorithm fills either rows first or columns first determined by the aspect ratio of the resulting subrectangles. The user may force drawing orientation by using the setOrientation() method with Treemap.COLUMNFIRST or Treemap.ROWFIRST fields.

A Colormap is a mapping from [0,1] to color values. The Treemap maps the minimum value of the second data array to the color corresponding to 0 and the highest value to the color corresponding to 1.

The Treemap class has a special legend for Colormaps. It displays the color values as a gradient labeled with corresponding data values.

Example

In this example an array of country data is plotted as a treemap. The area is proportional to the country's land area while the shading maps to the population. The “green-white-linear” Colormap is used. The Treemap legend is enabled by setting its Paint attribute to true.
