A sunburst chart is an interactive multilevel ring visualization that represents hierarchical data as concentric arcs, where each ring corresponds to a level in the hierarchy and the angular size of each segment reflects its value.
This sample compares monthly sales plans against actual revenue for fruits, vegetables, dairy, and meat. Parent rings represent planned targets while child rings show realized revenue per product, making it easy to spot which categories exceeded or fell short of their goals. The parent-dependent calculation method and scale-formatted tooltips (with “k” abbreviation) round out the visualization.
