ApexCharts Distributed Treemap
A flat treemap where every leaf is a coloured rectangle whose area encodes a value and whose colour is auto-distributed across a palette so adjacent rectangles never share a hue. ApexCharts' treemap supports `distributed: true` to randomise colours across cells, and `dataLabels`

When to use this template
This visualization excels at revealing the relative proportions of many distinct items within a total, making it easy to identify the largest contributors and the long tail. An analyst would use it to quickly grasp the distribution of a single quantitative measure across numerous categories, especially when a precise comparison of individual small values is less critical than understanding the overall landscape.
- Flat, non-hierarchical categorical data
- Between 10 and 50 distinct categories
- Each category has a single positive quantitative value
- Values represent parts of a whole or relative magnitudes
- Categories lack an inherent order or grouping
- Focus on immediate visual comparison of relative sizes
