Configuring building block types and attributes
Start by choosing a building block type and attribute. The diagram visualizes the number of elements within that building block type, distributed in rows for each attribute value.
Coloring may be applied by an additional attribute, which segments the bar of each row into different colors according to the element’s attribute values. The diagram can be further customized by applying filters and changing the sorting order.
