NuGet Package: DevExpress.Charts
Declaration
Property Value
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Palette | Specifies the color provider palette. |
Remarks
You can use one of the predefined palettes to specify the Palette property:
It is possible to create a custom palette as follows:
colorProvider.Palette = new Palette("Custom") { Color.White, Color.SkyBlue, Color.DarkBlue };
Alternatively, you can use the PaletteName property to specify the palette.
Example
This example shows how to use arrays of string and numeric values to create a heatmap:
Follow the steps below to create a heatmap:
- Add the HeatmapControl to the Form.
- Create a HeatmapMatrixAdapter object and assign it to the HeatmapControl.DataAdapter property.
- Use the adapter’s XArguments and YArguments properties to populate the heatmap with x- and y-arguments that are displayed along x- and y-axes.
- Assign a two-dimensional array of double values to the adapter’s Values property.
- Create a HeatmapRangeColorProvider object and assign it to the heatmap’s ColorProvider property. The HeatmapRangeColorProvider paints cells based on the 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.
