# Treemap visualization

A Treemap chart is used to display hierarchical data using nested rectangles. Each rectangle represents a group or cluster of data, and the size of the rectangle is proportional to the value of the data it represents. Treemaps are used to compare quantities and patterns in a very direct and efficient way, and to highlight the trends that structure our data. Double-click a rectangle to drill down into your data.
