Showing Results in Treemap Views

Treemap views organize hierarchical data by grouping the data into rectangles known as tiles. Treemap views have the following characteristics:

• They are limited by a predefined area and display two levels of data.
• They can contain rectangular tiles. The size of the tile is based on a measure, and the color of the tile is based on a second measure.
• They are similar to a scatter plot graphs in that the map area is constrained, and the graph allows you to visualize large quantities of data and quickly identify trends and anomalies within that data.

Two styles of Treemap view are available:

• Percentile Binning. Specifies that the color of the tiles within the Treemap view is displayed as a percentile bin.
• Continuous Color Fill. Specifies that the tiles within the Treemap view are displayed as a gradient color scheme. The low value gradient color is the minimum value for the selected Color By measure. The high value gradient color is the maximum value for the selected Color By measure.

To edit a Treemap view

1. If the view is not already in the compound layout, then add the view.

   For instructions on adding views, see Adding and Editing Views.

2. In the Results tab of the analysis editor, click the Edit View icon for the Treemap view.

   The Treemap view editor opens.

3. In the Layout pane, in the Style field, select either Percentile Binning or Continuous Color Fill.
4. If you selected Percentile Binning in the previous step, then in the Bins list, select the number of bins to display in the Treemap view.

   You can select an integer, Quartile (4), or Decile (10). Values range from 2 to 12. The number of bins selected corresponds to the number of colors in the Treemap view.

5. Change the Group By, Size By, and Color By options as necessary to meet your requirements.
6. Click the Treemap View Properties icon in the toolbar.
7. In the Treemap Properties dialog box, make your selections, and then click OK.
