using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace HeatmapMatrixAdapterSample {
    public partial class Form1 : Form {
        public Form1() {

            HeatmapControl heatmap = new HeatmapControl();

            dataAdapter.XArguments = new string[] { "North", "South", "West", "East", "Central" };
            dataAdapter.YArguments = new string[] { "Components", "Clothing", "Bikes", "Accessories" };
            dataAdapter.Values = new double[,] {
