Looking at the background for treemaps:
"During 1990, in response to the common problem of a filled hard disk, I became obsessed with the idea of producing a compact visualization of directory tree structures."
If I understand this concept correctly, it's about deeper sets.
It's possible that treemaps might be useful for comparing changing hierarchies.
More useful than a pie-chart because of the hierarchial relationships.
CD4, CD8
Then inside CD4 and CD8
Generate a treemap for each patient - perhaps not very useful
Generate an average treemap for normal, normal ratio and inverted ratio.
Clearly there is a challenge reflecting the variation but we might be able to do the means.
Or maybe not....
Interesting....
