Treemap - view large trees with node values • Space filling • Space limited • Color coding • Size coding • Requires learning TreeViz (Mac, Johnson, 1992) NBA-Tree (Sun, Turo, 1993) Analytical Hierarchy (Asahi, 1995) Winsurfer (Teittinen, 1996) Treemap97 (Windows, UMd) Treemap2000 (Java, 2000) Treemap3.0 (2001) (Shneiderman, ACM Trans. on Graphics, 1992)

Treemaps: Strengths and Weaknesses` • Overall pattern is visible • Large nodes are seen easily at any level • Color coding shows relationships • Duplicates or unusual patterns can be seen • Space-filling approach is unfamiliar • Varying aspect ratios hamper size comparison • Slice and dice is hard to follow • Thin slivers are obscure
