Treemap forced root node

[nicolaskruchten]

Semi-related to #5199 ... one difference between sunburst and treemap is that treemap always has a root node even if you don't want it. It would be nice for this to be optional.

Have there been any updates on this ?

I also don't need the root element in the treemap chart that I am using.
I have set hovertemplate: '%{label}<br />%{value}% <extra></extra>' and since the root doesn't have any labels or values I get warnings in the console

console.trace() WARN: Variable 'label' in hovertemplate could not be found!
console.trace() WARN: Variable 'value' in hovertemplate could not be found!
console.trace() WARN: Too many hovertemplate warnings - additional warnings will be suppressed

Also when I hover over the root element it shows the hovertemplate as %{label} %{value}% which is not wanted.

I also have this problem. I guess its not something I did wrong!
