The Tree Map charts are mainly used to demonstrate vast amounts of classified data. It can be the best choice when users want to view all their hierarchical data at one time. Each rectangle represents a branch in a tree, and it shows how much data it comprises. The size and position of the boxes are based on the quantitative variable used for the chart. Patterns across the data can be identified using the size and color of the boxes.
