What type of visualization is this ? Is it a tree map?
Hi there!
As @mahoneypat said, that's a heatmap.
That particular heatmap you have a screenshot of was created with Vega-Lite using the Deneb custom visual that's in public preview. Though they can be made easily with the matrix visual per the example @mahoneypat provided.

It's a heat map. With the right measure, you can make a matrix look like a heat map.
