Algorithm Types

The following article demonstrates the usage and the benefits of the AlgorithmType property of the RadTreeMap

The AlgorithmType property of the RadTreeMap is used to specify how the underlying data of the control should be visualized. The property accepts one of the following three values:

• Horizontal - the TreeMapItems are displayed side by side, having the same height as their parent Item. (see Figure 1)

• Squarified - the area bellow the parent TreeMapItem is subdivided into square rectangles, which size represents their ratio.(see Figure 2)

• Vertical -the TreeMapItems are displayed one below the other, having the same width as their parent Item.(see Figure 3)

Figure 1: Demonstrates how the RadTreeMap is visualized, when AlgorithmType is set to Horizontal.

Figure 2: Demonstrates how the RadTreeMap is visualized, when AlgorithmType is set to Squarified.

Figure 3: Demonstrates how the RadTreeMap is visualized, when AlgorithmType is set to Vertical.
