Silverlight Treemap Control
Treemaps (a.k.a., heatmaps in the financial industry) appear in applications as diverse as inventory management to "maps of the market" showing hot stocks and cold sectors. Unlike pie charts, treemaps show the relative weight of data points at more than one level with no drilldown required. Our Silverlight treemap control helps you communicate these differences more effectively in color with either a group-based organizational mechanism, or a graduated scale-based mechanism similar to choropleth shading. It also supports layout algorithms that optimize your treemap for either order or aspect ratio so you can decide which presentation format is more important to your end users. xamTreemap™ brings these capabilities to your user like no other Silverlight data visualization can: display data in proportion to its weight, enable users to look top-down onto hierarchical relationships in your data, and examine multiple levels of detail like never before.

Key Features at a Glance
- Data Bound – xamTreemap binds to any ItemsSource like IEnumerable, and its hierarchical node binding support allows you to identify text and value properties.
- Depth of Data – xamTreemap shows users multiple levels of detail at once, and you can configure how deeply nested your treemap becomes.
- Flexible Layouts – xamTreemap can optimize for order or aspect ratio with treemap algorithms like Slice and Dice, Strip, and Squarified.
- Large Data Sets – xamTreemap makes efficient use of space so it can display thousands of tree nodes on screen simultaneously.
- Value Mapping – xamTreemap lets you color nodes based on their value within a range scale (similar to choropleth shading) or group all nodes with a similar value in the same color.
