There are several alternatives to sunburst charts for visualizing hierarchies and relationships. Some of these include:
1. Treemaps: These are used to display hierarchical data as a set of nested rectangles. Each branch of the tree is given a rectangle, which is then tiled with smaller rectangles representing sub-branches.
2. Hierarchical Edge Bundling: This method visualizes hierarchical relationships by connecting nodes of a graph, which represent entities, with curved lines, which represent relationships.
3. Dendrograms: These are tree-like diagrams used to represent the distribution of a hierarchical clustering. The branches represent clusters that have been merged together, and the height of the branches tells you about the distance at which clusters were merged.
4. Circle Packing: This is a method where circles are packed together to represent hierarchical data. The size of each circle can be used to represent a quantitative variable.
5. Chord Diagrams: These are used to display the inter-relationships between data in a matrix. The data are arranged radially around a circle with the relationships between the points typically drawn as arcs connecting the data.
