            dataAdapter.ColorProvider = colorProvider;

            HeatmapLabel label = heatmap.Label;
            label.Visible = true;
            label.Pattern = "{V:f0}";
            label.BackColor = Color.White;
            label.Color = Color.Black;
            label.DXFont = new DXFont("SegoeUI", 10);
            label.TextOrientation = HeatmapTextOrientation.Horizontal;
            label.Border.Visibility = DefaultBoolean.True;
            label.Border.Color = Color.DarkGray;
            label.Border.Thickness = 2;
        }
