Bilevel Partition
A zoomable sunburst visualizes hierarchical data from the Flare visualization library. The root node sits at the center, with nested arcs extending outward; each arc’s angle encodes its value, and color indicates the parent category. Clicking an arc zooms in on that subtree, while clicking the center circle returns to the previous level. The example uses d3.layout.partition, d3.svg.arc, and d3.transition with arcTween to animate path changes, rendering with SVG.

A sunburst is similar to a treemap, except it uses a radial layout. The root node of the tree is at the center, with leaves on the circumference. The area (or angle, depending on implementation) of each arc corresponds to its value. Sunburst design by John Stasko. Data courtesy Jeff Heer.
