Paper Abstract
A wealth of census data relative to hierarchical administrative subdivisions are now available. It is therefore desirable for
hierarchical data visualization techniques, to offer a spatially consistent representation of such data. This paper focuses
on a widely used technique for hierarchical data, namely treemaps, with a particular emphasis on a specific family of
treemaps, designed to take into account spatial constraints in the layout, called Spatially Dependent Treemap (SDT). The
contributions of this paper are threefold. First, we present the "Weighted Maps", a novel SDT layout algorithm and discuss
the algorithmic differences with the other state-of-the-art SDT algorithms. Second, we present the quantitative results and
analyses of a number of metrics that were used to assess the quality of the resulting layouts. The analyses are illustrated with
figures generated from various datasets. Third, we show that the Weighted Maps algorithm offers a significant advantage
for the layout of large flat cartograms and multilevel hierarchies having a large branching factor.
