    Sunburst
    In This Topic

    Sunburst, also known as a multi-level pie chart, is ideal for visualizing multi-level hierarchical data depicted by concentric circles. The circle in the center represents the root node surrounded by the rings representing different levels of hierarchy. Rings are divided based on their relationship with the parent slice with each of them either divided equally or proportional to a value. This type of chart helps users in breaking down data into different entities for identifying and visualizing multilevel parent child relationships in different business scenarios quickly and efficiently.

    Using Code

    Refer to the following code to add a Sunburst chart:

    C#
    Copy Code 
    public void SunburstChart()
{
    // Initialize workbook
    Workbook workbook = new Workbook();
    // Fetch default worksheet 
    IWorksheet worksheet = workbook.Worksheets[0];

    // Prepare data for chart
    worksheet.Range["A1:D16"].Value = new object[,]
 {
   {"Region", "Subregion", "Country", "Population"},
   {"Asia", "Southern", "India", 1354051854},
   {null, null, "Pakistan", 200813818},
   {null,null , "Bangladesh", 166368149},
   {null,null , "Others", 170220300},
   {null, "Eastern", "China", 1415045928},
   {null, null, "Japan", 127185332},
   {null,null , "Others", 111652273},
   {null, "South-Eastern", null, 655636576},

   {"Europe", null, null, 742648010},
   {"Others",null ,null , 1057117703}
};
    worksheet.Range["A:D"].Columns.AutoFit();
    // Add Sunburst Chart
    IShape sunburstChartShape = worksheet.Shapes.AddChart(ChartType.Sunburst, 250, 20, 360, 330);

    // Adding series to SeriesCollection
    sunburstChartShape.Chart.SeriesCollection.Add(worksheet.Range["A1:D16"], RowCol.Columns, true, true);

    // Configure Chart Title 
    sunburstChartShape.Chart.ChartTitle.Text = "World Population";

    // Saving workbook to Xlsx
    workbook.Save(@"32-SunburstChart.xlsx", SaveFileFormat.Xlsx);
