Dear Nick,
Indeed I've seen some java code for tree maps on google. But
translating this into stata/mata is way beyond my limited skills. I
think this is something for StataCorp or you, if you plan to develop
such tool (:-)).
Nonetheless, this thread has directed me to other important tools and
I want to thank the group for its help.
