Diagrams.TwoD.Sunburst

Generation of Sunburst Partitions. A radial view of a Treemap.

The partitions are created without examining the contents of the tree nodes which allows us to create a sunburst for any Tree a. As a consequence we cannot base the size or color of the sections on the data in the tree, but only on depth and number of children. Of course the code could easily be adapted to handle more specific tree data.

sunburst' :: Renderable (Path R2) b => SunburstOpts -> Tree a -> Diagram b R2

Take any Tree a and SunburstOpts and make a sunburst partition. Basically a treemap with a radial layout. The root is the center of the sunburst and its circumference is divided evenly according to the number of child nodes it has. Then each of those sections is treated the same way.
