# Key Features

## Content



TreeMap control has numerous features to enable users display hierarchical data in a limited area, and analyze data by comparing the size of tree nodes (or nested rectangles). These are as follows:<br />

*   **Hierarchical representation of data**<br />TreeMap control is an ideal tool to help users visualize and compare proportions in data values within a hierarchy.<br />
*   **Layout**<br />TreeMap supports multiple display arrangements, where the tree branches can be shown as squares, horizontal rectangles or vertical rectangles.<br />
*   **Customizable hierarchical levels**<br />TreeMap control enables users to vary the depth of data to be visualized and further drill down (or reverse drill down) the data for analysis and comparison.<br />
*   **Customizable appearance**<br />TreeMap enables users to stylize the control and vary its appearance as per their preference. A set of varied color palettes are available to clearly display categories in a tree map chart.<br />
*   **Data binding**<br />TreeMap can be bound to different data sources that contain data of varied size, allowing you to display such a data in limited rectangular area.<br />
*   **Selection**<br />TreeMap enables selecting tree nodes and group of nodes to draw focus on specific data items in the hierarchical data.<br />
*   **Optimum space utilization**<br />TreeMap is ideal for compact display and visualization of huge data. The nested rectangles and groups constituting the treemap chart adjust their size to fit the display area.<br />
*   **Drill down the hierarchy**<br />TreeMap allows detailed analysis of hierarchical data by drilling down the data points on a mouse click. This is enabled by specifying the maximum depth of TreeMap hierarchy.
