HeatmapHitInfo.HeatmapCell Property

Returns the heatmap cell located under the test point.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.Heatmap

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

public HeatmapCell HeatmapCell { get; }

Property Value

Type Description
HeatmapCell

A heatmap cell.

Remarks

If the InHeatmapCell property returns true, then the HeatmapCell property returns the heatmap cell instance under the test point, else the HeatmapCell returns null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Example

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

A heatmap cell is hit-tested.

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.
