Sunburst Diagram

Rings that unfold each level of a hierarchy from the centre.

The idea

A sunburst puts the whole at the centre and unfolds each level as an outer ring, so you read several levels at once. Segment angle shows size. It suits nested data with a few levels and works for exploration and storytelling more than for exact comparison.

Where to use it

  • Budgets from department to line item
  • Product catalogues and file structures
  • Shares within shares, such as region, country and city
  • Rankings arranged in a wheel
