The DevExpress WinForms TreeMap (TreeMapControl) allows you to integrate area-based data visualizion for complex hierarchical data structures into your application. A treemap visualization consists of nested rectangles. The sizes of the rectangles are proportional to the corresponding data value.

Getting Started

• Lesson 1 - Create a Simple Unbound TreeMap
• Lesson 2 - Bind a TreeMap to Flat Data

Bind to Data

You can bind the TreeMap control to flat and hierarchical data structures, or create a treemap visualization manually (the unbound mode). Read the following topics for details and examples:

• Bind a TreeMap to Data
• How to: Bind a TreeMap to Hierarchical Data
• How to: Bind a TreeMap to Flat Data
• How to: Manually Add Items to a TreeMap

Layout Algorithms

You can use one of the following pre-built item-arrangement algorithms or implement a custom algorithm.

• Strip
• Squarified
• Slice and Dice
• Custom Algorithm

TreeMap Colorizers

TreeMap colorizers automatically specify colors for tree map items. You can use the following pre-built color distribution algorithms or implement a custom algorithm.

Palette Colorizer

Gradient Colorizer

Group Gradient Colorizer

Range Colorizer

Run Demo

Selection and Tooltips

The TreeMap control supports interactive highlighting, selection, and helper hints (tooltips).

Print and Export

You can print and export TreeMap content to multiple file formats (PDF, XLS, XLSX, MHT, CSV, HTML, DOCX, IMAGE). Read the following topic for detailed information: Print and Export.
