Treemap race
Area-proportional tiles filling the frame, Forbes-style. The best choice for eight to thirty items that together form a whole.
When to use it
A treemap tiles the entire frame with area-proportional rectangles. Each tile can hold a logo, value, name, and category, which makes it dense with information without feeling cluttered.
Best for eight to thirty entities that together form a whole — market share, budget breakdowns, portfolio composition. It handles far longer lists than a pie because rectangles stay readable at sizes where slices do not.
It also makes an excellent static infographic. If you need one image summarising a composition, this is usually the type to reach for.
Tiles and layout
In the Chart panel, Visible Item Count caps the tiles and Show Items filters them.
Space Between Tiles separates the rectangles — a small gap reads much better than none, since it lets the eye separate adjacent tiles of similar colour.
Tile Corner Radius softens the rectangles, and Tile Content Padding controls the breathing room around the logo and text inside each one. Raise the padding if content is touching tile edges.
Styling and images
The Tile panel carries Tile Opacity, Tile Border Width, and Tile Border Color.
The Image panel exposes Image Size (of Tile), sized relative to the rectangle so logos scale as tiles resize over time.
Categories are especially useful here: colouring tiles by category turns a flat list into a grouped composition without any extra layout work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Treemap or pie?
Pie for eight categories or fewer. Treemap for eight to thirty — area is easier to compare than angle once slices get thin, and tiles have room for a logo and label that slivers do not.
Our tile text is being clipped. What should we change?
Raise Tile Content Padding, reduce Visible Item Count so each tile is larger, or shorten the labels in the spreadsheet. Small tiles simply cannot hold long names.
Can we group tiles by category?
Yes. Add a category header row in the spreadsheet, and the Categories panel will colour and group tiles accordingly.
