Topology management

You can act on the sunburst topology by reducing the number of sectors shown with :

• root_cut parameter (or --r_cut command line argument)
• path_cut parameter (or --p_cut command line argument)

Root cut

The root of the ontology can be in a higher level than the interest root of your interest set. This can produce multiple sectors after the root node with the same value and having only 1 parent.

• By default, the parameter is set to cut : this will set as the root the deepest node having the same value as the root and having only 1 parent.

• Set to uncut it will let the ontology root as the sunburst root.

• Set to total there will be no root and the center of the sunburst will have the form of a pie chart.

Path cut

As the root, you can have some paths in the sunburst with "nested concepts" --> successive concepts with the same value and only 1 parent.

• By default, the parameter is set to uncut so all the concepts of the chain are displayed on the sunburst.

• Set to depper, it will only display the deepest concept of the chain (labels will be preceded by "...")

• Set to higher, it will only display the highest concept of the chain (labels will be succeeded by "...")

• Set to bound, it will only display the deepest AND the highest concept of the chain. (so only effective on +2 length chains)
