Examples

1. Corporate Organizational Chart

HR Manager

Background

The HR department needs to present the company's leadership structure during an onboarding session.

Problem

Manual drawing of complex hierarchies is time-consuming and prone to alignment errors.

How to use

Input the company structure in JSON format, select 'Rectangle' for node shape, and set the node color to match corporate branding.

{"nodeShape": "rectangle", "nodeColor": "#1e3a8a", "showValues": false}

Outcome

A clean, professional organizational chart that clearly displays the hierarchy from the CEO down to individual teams.

2. Decision Tree Visualization

Product Analyst

Background

An analyst is mapping out user flow paths to identify where customers drop off in the checkout process.

Problem

Complex branching logic is difficult to explain to stakeholders using text alone.

How to use

Use the 'parent:child:value' text format to define the decision paths and assign values to represent conversion rates at each node.
