Tree maps and sunbursts

A portfolio as a hierarchy, sectors then holdings, sized by market value: a tree map whose holdings are coloured by the day's move on a red-to-green ramp or by sector, with the sector label over its block and a click that selects a holding; and the same tree as a sunburst that zooms into the ring you click with a breadcrumb back.

A live, editable Svelte 5 data grid example from the SvGrid gallery (Charts). See the SvGrid documentation for the full API.

About this example

Tree maps and sunbursts: treemap takes a TreeNode tree with value on the leaves and colour where you say so, here a red-to-green ramp for the day's move like a market map, with the sector label over its block and a click that selects a holding; tree on a sunburst draws the same hierarchy as rings, and drillable with bind:drillPath zooms into the ring you click and gives the breadcrumb back; specToTreemap builds the tree from rows. Free, in @svgrid/grid.

A portfolio as a hierarchy: sectors, then the holdings in each, sized by market value.

  • treemap takes a TreeNode tree: name, value on the leaves, children on the branches, color where you want to say so. The holdings are coloured by their day's move on a red-to-green ramp, the way a market map reads, and the sector label sits over its block.
  • tree on a sunburst is the same tree as rings: the sectors inside, their holdings outside. drillable zooms into the ring you click and bind:drillPath gives the breadcrumb back.
  • specToTreemap builds this tree from a split spec when the data comes from rows rather than a hand-made hierarchy.

Frequently asked questions

What shape does a tree map take?

A TreeNode: name, value on the leaves, children on the branches, and an optional color per node. Branches are sized from their children.

How do I colour the cells by a second measure?

Compute the colour per leaf and set color on the node. The demo maps the day's percentage move onto a red-to-green ramp.

How does drilling down work?

Set drillable on the sunburst. A click zooms into that ring; bind:drillPath holds the path for a breadcrumb, and setting it back to an empty array zooms out.

More Charts examples

  • Chart a selection (context menu) - With integrated charting enabled, the right-click menu gains a Chart selected range item: select a block of cells, right-click, and the chart panel opens scoped to that range - the Excel chart-this gesture, built in. The item appears only when charting is on and is appended to the default context menu automatically.
  • Chart view of the grid - The `chart` prop turns the same <SvGrid> into a chart, driven by the grid’s filtered + sorted rows (search + sort flow through). A view of the grid like board and scheduler, but the renderer is free: the grid lazy-loads a built-in view wrapping the standalone SvChart via rowsToChartSpec. Flip Table <-> Chart (bar / line / area) over one source of truth.
  • Candlestick / OHLC - Candlestick and OHLC price marks with an ordinal date axis. ChartSeries.ohlc carries the four prices while values keeps the closes, so the CSV export, the screen-reader table and a 10-day moving average all work with no candle-specific code. Toggle the axis: a real time axis opens a gap over every weekend, an ordinal one spaces sessions evenly and still labels them by date. The strip under the plot is the chart brush: drag its window to pan, drag an edge to resize.
  • Box plot + error bars - Distribution rather than average: box plots with the 1.5 IQR whisker rule and individual outliers, next to the same data as a bar chart of the means with error bars. two regions with nearly identical means sit side by side in the bars and look nothing alike in the boxes. boxStats() summarises a raw sample, rowsToBoxSpec() does it per group, and ChartSeries.errors annotates any existing mark without changing its type.
  • Axes, titles and styling - The chart hands the decisions back: a numeric x axis that spreads payload sizes the way the numbers do, pinned domains with a fixed tick interval and a formatter per axis, grid lines on or off, a shaded budget band, a vertical reference line, per-point markers and colours, a stepped dashed series on the right axis, a title / subtitle / caption, a legend on any side, and a tooltip snippet in single-series mode. Below it, 50,000 monitoring readings decimated to one point per pixel with LTTB or min / max - toggle it off to see the cost.
