Heatmap
A
Heatmap divides a rectangle into subrectangles. The color of each subrectangle is determined by the value of a data array and a colormap.
If the data array is m by n then there are m divisions along the x-axis and n divisions along the y-axis.
A
Colormap is a mapping from [0,1] to color values. The blue-red colormap, used in the example below, maps 0 to red and 1 to dark blue and interpolates between these endpoints values. The heatmap maps the minimum data value to the color corresponding to 0 and the highest data value to the color corresponding to 1.
The Heatmap class has a special legend for Colormaps. It displays the color values as a gradient labeled with corresponding data values.
Example
In this example a two-dimensional array of data is plotted as a heatmap. The “red-blue” Colormap is used. The Heatmap Legend is enabled by settings its Paint attribute to true.
