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 maps the full spectrum of coffee aromas and tastes, from broad flavor categories down to specific tasting notes. The ordinal-from-root calculation method sizes each ring proportionally, radial label positioning on the penultimate level aids readability, and progressive color darkening (15% per level) provides clear visual separation between hierarchy layers.
