Funnelarea

Overview

The funnelarea trace type is used to create funnel area charts, which are similar to funnel charts but are represented as a circular area instead of a linear progression. Funnel area charts are useful for comparing stages in a process with proportional sizes. Each stage is represented as a sector of a circle, and its size represents the magnitude of the data.

You can control the colors, labels, and orientation of the funnel area sections to visualize proportional data across different stages.

Common Uses

  • Proportional Stages: Showing the proportion of data at each stage in a circular format.
  • Conversion Rates: Visualizing the drop-off rates in different stages of a process.
  • Sales and Marketing Funnels: Representing funnels like leads-to-sales in a circular format.

Common Configurations

Here's a simple funnelarea plot showing data in a circular funnel format:

You can copy this code below to create this chart in your project:

    args:
      - echo
      - |
        stage,value
        Leads,1000
        Qualified Leads,750
        Opportunities,400

        Closed Deals,100
traces:
  - name: Simple Funnelarea Plot
    model: ${ref(funnelarea-data)}
    props:
      type: funnelarea
      labels: ?{stage}
      values: ?{value}
charts:

This example shows a funnelarea plot where each stage has a custom color for better differentiation:

Here's the code:

  1. Sets the ratio between height and width
  2. Sets the ratio between bottom length and maximum top length.
  3. Assigns extra data each datum. This may be useful when listening to hover, click and selection events. Note that, scatter traces also appends customdata items in the markers DOM elements
  4. Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for customdata.
  5. Sets the label step. See label0 for more info.

  8. Sets the horizontal domain of this funnelarea trace (in plot fraction).
  9. Sets the vertical domain of this funnelarea trace (in plot fraction).
  10. Determines which trace information appear on hover. If none or skip are set, no information is displayed upon hovering. But, if none is set, click and hover events are still fired.
  11. Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for hoverinfo.

Sets the default length (in number of characters) of the trace name in the hover labels for all traces. -1 shows the whole name regardless of length. 0-3 shows the first 0-3 characters, and an integer >3 will show the whole name if it is less than that many characters, but if it is longer, will truncate to namelength - 3 characters and add an ellipsis.
  35. Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for namelength.
  36. Template string used for rendering the information that appear on hover box. Note that this will override hoverinfo. Variables are inserted using %{variable}, for example "y: %{y}" as well as %{xother}, {%xother}, {%_xother}, {%xother_}. When showing info for several points, xother will be added to those with different x positions from the first point. An underscore before or after (x|y)other will add a space on that side, only when this field is shown. Numbers are formatted using d3-format's syntax %{variable:d3-format}, for example "Price: %{y:$.2f}". https://github.com/d3/d3-format/tree/v1.4.5#d3-format for details on the formatting syntax. Dates are formatted using d3-time-format's syntax %{variable|d3-time-format}, for example "Day: %{2019-01-01|%A}". https://github.com/d3/d3-time-format/tree/v2.2.3#locale_format for details on the date formatting syntax. The variables available in hovertemplate are the ones emitted as event data described at this link https://plotly.com/javascript/plotlyjs-events/#event-data. Additionally, every attributes that can be specified per-point (the ones that are arrayOk: true) are available. Finally, the template string has access to variables label, color, value, text and percent. Anything contained in tag <extra> is displayed in the secondary box, for example "{fullData.name}". To hide the secondary box completely, use an empty tag <extra></extra>.
  37. Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for hovertemplate.
  38. Sets hover text elements associated with each sector. If a single string, the same string appears for all data points. If an array of string, the items are mapped in order of this trace's sectors. To be seen, trace hoverinfo must contain a text flag.

  60. Sets the source reference on Chart Studio Cloud for labels.
  61. Sets the reference to a legend to show this trace in. References to these legends are legend, legend2, legend3, etc. Settings for these legends are set in the layout, under layout.legend, layout.legend2, etc.

  71. Sets the legend rank for this trace. Items and groups with smaller ranks are presented on top/left side while with reversed legend.traceorder they are on bottom/right side. The default legendrank is 1000, so that you can use ranks less than 1000 to place certain items before all unranked items, and ranks greater than 1000 to go after all unranked items. When having unranked or equal rank items shapes would be displayed after traces i.e. according to their order in data and layout.
