Define positions of sub-treemaps within the whole treemap visualization
Opened this issue · 0 comments
I have a treemap chart which is divided into three sub-groups ("Group by"). The sizes of the squares refer to percent values, so they add up to 100 in each of the sub-treemaps.
Since the size of all sub-treemaps is identical, they are positioned arbitrarily within the whole treemap chart. As a result, they often swap positions after reloading the dashboard, which is confusing for the user.
I tried to establish a fixed order of the sub-charts by ordering the underlying data. The following order by
clause in the SQL query allows ordering categorical data in a determined way:
ORDER BY (
CASE WHEN category ='system1' THEN 1
WHEN category ='system5' THEN 2
WHEN category ='system2' THEN 3
ELSE 4
END
)
This, indeed, orders the data table as expected, but the sub-treemaps are still randomly distributed.
I would love to have the possibility to define the position of the sub-treemaps in the whole treemap. I think this would also be beneficial in case the sub-treemaps have different sizes to get an individual design of the whole treemap.
