HeatmapDataSourceAdapter Class

Loads heatmap data from a data source.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts.Heatmap

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

C#

public class HeatmapDataSourceAdapter :
    HeatmapDataAdapterBase,
    IHeatmapDataSourceProvider,
    IHeatmapAdapter,
    IDataSourceChangedEventHandlerProvider,
    IServiceProviderHolder,
    IBindingPropertiesProvider

VB.NET

Public Class HeatmapDataSourceAdapter
    Inherits HeatmapDataAdapterBase
    Implements IHeatmapDataSourceProvider,
               IHeatmapAdapter,
               IDataSourceChangedEventHandlerProvider,
               IServiceProviderHolder,
               IBindingPropertiesProvider

Remarks

Use the HeatmapControl.DataAdapter to assign a HeatmapDataSourceAdapter to a heatmap. Specify the following adapter properties to load data to the heatmap:

• DataSource – Specifies a data source. You can assign this property an object that implements any of the following interfaces: IList, IListSource, or IBindingList.
• ColorDataMember – Defines a data member that a color provider uses to determine cell colors.
• XArgumentDataMember – Specifies a data member that stores x-arguments.
• YArgumentDataMember – Specifies a data member that stores y-arguments.

Example

The following example shows how to create a heatmap and bind it to a data source. In this example, the heatmap obtains data from an XML file.

Follow the steps below to create a heatmap:

• Add the HeatmapControl to the Form.
• Create a HeatmapDataSourceAdapter object and assign it to the HeatmapControl.DataAdapter property.
• Define the adapter’s DataSource property.
• Use the ColorDataMember property to define a data member that is used to determine cell colors.

• Specify the following adapter properties to define data members that store heatmap arguments:

  • XArgumentDataMember
  • YArgumentDataMember

• Create a HeatmapRangeColorProvider object and assign it to the heatmap’s ColorProvider property. The HeatmapRangeColorProvider paints cells based on a value range to which the cell value belongs.

• Add a HeatmapTitle to the heatmap’s Titles collection. Specify the title’s Text property.
• Use the heatmap’s Label property to configure cell label options. This example shows how to configure label text format.
• Set the HeatmapControl.ToolTipEnabled property to true to enable tooltips. Specify the HeatmapControl.ToolTipTextPattern property to define tooltip text display format.
