This topic describes how to change a layout algorithm used to arrange Treemap tiles. To do this in the Designer, go to the Treemap's
Options
menu and open the
Layout
section.
To change a layout algorithm, select the required direction in the Layout Algorithm list. The following algorithms are available.
-
The
Slice and Dice
algorithm divides the space between items, slicing it in the specified direction depending on item value.
-
The
Squarified
algorithm arranges tiles so that their width/height ratio will be closer to 1.
-
The
Striped
algorithm is a modified version of the Squarified algorithm. The difference here is that tiles are drawn side by side as columns or rows.
You can also set a layout direction to specify an arrangement of tiles depending on their sizes. The Treemap arranges tiles in descending order from maximum to minimum values. To do this, select the required direction in the
Layout Direction
list.
