Circle Packing

This is the N4V FOR WEBI Wiki page for the Circle Packing widget.

Updated for N4V 2025.2.10

• Circular chart for grouping data sets organized on multiple hierarchy levels into concentric bubbles.
  
• The size of each bubble represents the indicated measurement.

• Dimension 1 : Dimension for the first level of concentric circles
• Dimension 2 : Dimension for the second level of concentric circles
• Dimension 3 to 5 : [Optional] Dimensions for the lower levels of concentric circles

• Mesaure 1 : Measure for the size of the concentric circle

• Display the tooltip when you move the mouse over a circle (tooltip displayed on the left for the first level, on the top for the second level and on the top for the other levels).
• When double-clicking on a circle, a drilldown zoom to center and zoom the chart to this level. To drillup, just double-click inside the upper level circle. To display the full chart, double-click outside the first level circle.
• Use the click-drag to move the circles and display if necessary the labels of the same level of the adjacent circles

The measurement display format (standard - e.g.: 2,345.67, compact - e.g.: 2.3K or compact long - e.g.: 2.3 thousand) can also be defined.
