Overview
The Multi-level Pie Chart Generator allows you to visualize complex, hierarchical data through interactive, concentric circles. By transforming nested JSON structures into intuitive sunburst-style charts, this tool helps you identify patterns and proportions across multiple levels of data with ease.
When to Use
- •When you need to visualize hierarchical data structures like organizational charts or product categories.
- •When you want to compare the relative proportions of sub-categories within a larger dataset.
- •When you require an interactive interface to drill down into specific data segments for deeper analysis.
How It Works
- •Input your hierarchical data as a nested JSON object, ensuring numeric values are assigned to the leaf nodes.
- •Customize the visual appearance by adjusting parameters like inner/outer radius, color schemes, and font settings.
- •Enable interactive features such as drill-down functionality and animations to enhance user engagement.
- •Generate and export your interactive chart as an HTML file for use in presentations or web reports.
Use Cases
Examples
1. Departmental Budget Breakdown
Financial Analyst- Background
- The analyst needs to present the annual budget distribution across three main departments, each containing multiple sub-projects.
- Problem
- Standard pie charts cannot show the relationship between departments and their sub-projects simultaneously.
- How to Use
- Input the budget JSON structure, set the max depth to 2, and select the 'Cool' color scheme for a professional look.
- Example Config
-
{"Technology": {"Cloud": 500, "Security": 300}, "Marketing": {"Ads": 400, "Events": 200}} - Outcome
- A clear, concentric chart where the inner ring shows department totals and the outer ring displays specific project allocations.
2. E-commerce Sales Analysis
Marketing Manager- Background
- The manager wants to see how sales are distributed across product categories and sub-categories to identify top-performing segments.
- Problem
- The dataset is too deep for a flat chart, making it difficult to see which sub-categories drive the most revenue.
- How to Use
- Paste the sales data, enable 'Show Percentages' and 'Enable Drill Down' to allow stakeholders to explore the data interactively.
- Example Config
-
{"Electronics": {"Phones": 1200, "Laptops": 800}, "Home": {"Kitchen": 600, "Decor": 400}} - Outcome
- An interactive sunburst chart that allows the manager to click into 'Electronics' to see the specific performance of phones versus laptops.

FAQ
What data format is required?
The tool requires a nested JSON object where each level represents a hierarchy and the final leaf nodes contain the numeric values to be visualized.
Can I change the colors of the chart?
Yes, you can select from various pre-defined color schemes, including warm, cool, pastel, and vibrant palettes.
What is the drill-down feature?
The drill-down feature allows users to click on a specific segment of the chart to zoom in and focus exclusively on that branch of the data hierarchy.
How many levels can I display?
You can set the maximum depth of the chart, with support for up to 5 levels of hierarchy.
Is the chart interactive?
Yes, the generated chart supports interactive drill-down and optional animations to make data exploration more intuitive.
