Binding data

The Circle Packing Widgets displays hierarchical data based on a parent child relation.
Circle Packing allows different depth levels for each category visually displayed. For example, one might display a geographic hierarchy in which some regions would not contain countries. Yet the reciprocal is false: each child should be associated to an existing parent node.
We can also emphasize important information by collapsing or expanding nodes interactively.

The following fields are available for configuring data binding on a Circle packing:

• Value : represents the quantitative measure which would eventually determine the size of an symbol.
• Level 1 : determines first level elements of our display.
• Level 2 to 6 provide same output as level 1 but are optional
• Split into many widgets allows to create many sub-widgets dynamically

A Circle Packing example

Group By : Split into many widgets
This option allows to transform firstly the widget into a container. This will then render a Circle Packing chart for each different value provided by the selected field.
This allows to create sub-widgets of the same type dynamically which might contribute in increasing granularity.

The layout of the charts inside the container is configurable.
Please see the corresponding chapter configure the view of the Widget container.

!This field cannot be aggregated: it must have several separate values in order to create several separate series.
