Circles nested inside each other where each circle's area represents a value in the hierarchy. This layout packs child circles within parent circles, creating an organic, intuitive visualization of nested proportions.
If You Could See Them Side by Side — Relative Sizes
Best for
- Showing proportional sizes within a hierarchy
- Comparing leaf node values across different branches
- Creating an engaging, organic-looking hierarchy visualization
Avoid when
- You need precise size comparisons — circles waste space
- The hierarchy is very deep with many levels
- You have too many small leaf nodes — they become dots
