A sunburst is a design or figure commonly used in architectural ornaments and design patterns. It consists of rays or "beams" radiating out from a central disk in the manner of sunbeams.〔 〕 Sometimes part of a sunburst, a semicircular or semi-elliptical shape, is used. Traditional sunburst motifs usually show the rays narrowing as they get further from the centre; from the later 19th century they often get wider, as in the Japanese Rising Sun Flag, which is more appropriate in optical terms. In architecture, the sunburst is often used in window designs, including fanlights and rose windows, as well as in decorative motifs. The sunburst motif is characteristic of Baroque church metalwork, especially monstrances and votive crowns, and Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles as well as church architecture. A sunburst is frequently used in emblems and military decorations. In information visualization, a ''sunburst diagram'' or ''sunburst chart'' is a multilevel pie chart used to represent the proportion of different values found at each level in a hierarchy. ==Gallery== Image:Monstrans.jpg|A traditional "solar" monstrance File:Maria de las angustias 1.JPG|Baroque sunburst crown on a Spanish statue of the Virgin Mary Image:Disk usage (Boabab).png|Sunburst chart representing disk usage in a file system File:War flag of the Imperial Japanese Army.svg| File:Naval Jack of the Republic of China.svg|Blue Sky with a White Sun, flag of the Chinese Nationalist Party Image:Eastern Columbia Building entrance.jpg|Terra cotta sunburst art deco design in gold at the Eastern Columbia Building in Los Angeles Image:City Hall Rotunda3.jpg| Image:Chrysler building- top.jpg|Chrysler Building top 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「sunburst」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
