HeatmapHitInfo.Cell Property

Returns the cell that is located in the test point.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraCharts.Heatmap

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraCharts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts

Declaration

C#

public HeatmapCell Cell { get; }

VB.NET

Public ReadOnly Property Cell As HeatmapCell

Property Value

Type	Description
HeatmapCell	Contains information about the heatmap cell.

Remarks

Use the Cell property to access the axis located under the test point if the HeatmapHitInfo.InCell property returns true. Note that if the InCell is false, then the Cell property returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Example

The following example shows how to determine what a heatmap element is in a test point, and collect information related to this element.

Call the HeatmapControl.CalcHitInfo method to obtain information about a specific point within the Heatmap Control. This method returns a HeatmapHitInfo object that contains information related to heatmap elements positioned in the test point.
