HeatmapHitInfo Class

Contains information about a specific point within a heatmap.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.Heatmap

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v25.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

C#

public class HeatmapHitInfo :
    HitInfoBase

VB.NET

Public Class HeatmapHitInfo
    Inherits HitInfoBase

Related API Members

The following members return HeatmapHitInfo objects:

• HeatmapControl.CalcHitInfo(Point)

Remarks

HeatmapHitInfo objects are created when you call the HeatmapControl.CalcHitInfo method to obtain information about a specific point within the heatmap. This method requires you to pass a test point or its coordinates as a parameter.

The HeatmapHitInfo class properties can be grouped into the following categories:

• The properties that indicate whether the test point resides over a particular view element. For instance, the InHeatmapCell property indicates whether the test point is over the heatmap heatmap cell or not;
• The properties that return heatmap elements themselves (for example, the HeatmapCell property).

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.

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.
