Segment Widget

A segment widget is a type of chart visualization that displays the distribution of a particular measure across various dimension values (categories). The chart provides clear and concise information on how each segment contributes to overall performance. The segment widget features a horizontal bar divided into multiple sections based on the selected dimension. The length or size of each segment corresponds to the value of the measure it represents, allowing for quick comparison.

Within each segment, the widget displays the value of the chosen measure, such as profit or sales, as both a percentage of the total and the actual numerical value, providing dual insight into the data.Additional information, such as category names and specific data points, is displayed through tooltips.
