# Suburst Chart

#### 🌞 Sunburst Chart – Radial Insight Into Hierarchies

The **Sunburst Chart** in **Lowcoder** presents **hierarchical data** in a **circular, multi-level format**, allowing users to explore nested relationships with a quick glance. Think of it as a pie chart that goes deeper — each level of the hierarchy adds a new ring, radiating from the center outward.

#### 🌐 Best Used For:

* **Organization structures** (e.g., Company → Departments → Teams)
* **Product category breakdowns**
* **File directory visualizations**
* **Multi-tiered survey results or user segments**

#### 🧩 Example Data Structure

Sunburst data is typically hierarchical and tree-like:

```json
{
  "name": "Company",
  "children": [
    {
      "name": "Engineering",
      "children": [
        { "name": "Frontend", "value": 10 },
        { "name": "Backend", "value": 15 }
      ]
    },
    {
      "name": "Marketing",
      "value": 20
    }
  ]
}
```

Each node can have a `value`, and/or `children` for deeper nesting.

#### ⚙️ Key Features

* **Chart Type:** Drag “Sunburst” from the components section onto Editor's View
* **Nested Levels:** Automatically expands based on data depth
* **Segment Size:** Proportional to values — larger value, wider arc
* **Tooltips:** Hover to view node details (name, value, path)

#### 🎨 Customisation & Theming

* Define **color schemes** by level or branch
* Style **labels** (e.g., rotate, hide, or show on hover)
* Control **level radius**, animation, and visual emphasis using **ECharts JSON configuration**

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lowcoder.cloud/lowcoder-documentation/build-applications/app-editor/visual-components/dashboard-and-reporting/charts-and-graphs/suburst-chart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
