JavaScript/jQuery TreeMap API

The TreeMap is a widget that displays hierarchical data by using nested rectangles.

import TreeMap from "devextreme/viz/tree_map"

In the TreeMap widget, hierarchical data is represented by a set of nested rectangles whose sizes are proportional to the visualized values. TreeMap operates with plain and hierarchical data sources. Also, it can visualize a hierarchy reconstructed from a flat data source.

TreeMap provides three layout algorithms out-of-the-box along with the capability to implement your own algorithm. In addition, the widget includes API methods that enable you to implement the drill down feature. Moreover, TreeMap supports all interactive features available in other DevExtreme Data Visualization Widgets: click, hover and selection.

DevExtreme widgets are integrated with many popular libraries and frameworks. See the Installation section (for JavaScript libraries) or the Prerequisites and Installation section (for ASP.NET MVC framework) to find details on setting up DevExtreme with a particular library or framework.

The following code shows how to create the TreeMap widget using every supported library and framework. For more details on working with widgets in these libraries and frameworks, see the Widget Basics topic for jQuery, Angular, AngularJS, Knockout or ASP.NET MVC.
