# Tree Diagrams and Radial Diagrams

The tree diagram is a helpful visual to see subcategories.&#x20;

If you click on a specific line of the diagram you'll see a pop up in the top right that allows you to isolate a node and it will limit your view.

Click the subcategory to get the aggregated volume, all associated keywords, and all associated questions.

You can send the subcategory to a project to be written, but we currently recommend that you only send specific keywords.

If you click the specific keyword node, you'll get a title, the cluster, the intent, page type, and the search volume (uses Keyword Planner). Send to a project and you'll be able to outline and write this topic in a couple clicks.

### Radial Maps

The radial map is a fun visual that I like to share with clients but I don't recommend working from this visual. You can download the PNG using the export option, you can isolate certain nodes, and click into each spoke in the same way you interact with tree diagrams.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://contentsprout-ai.gitbook.io/ai-content/topic-maps/tree-diagrams-and-radial-diagrams.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
