HeatmapObjectColorProvider Class

Converts colors from cell values and applies these colors to cells. This is the default color provider.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.Heatmap

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Charts.v21.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Charts

Declaration

public class HeatmapObjectColorProvider :
    HeatmapColorProviderBase

Remarks

Use the HeatmapControl.ColorProvider property to assign a HeatmapObjectColorProvider object to the heatmap.

When a heatmap uses HeatmapMatrixAdapter to load data, HeatmapObjectColorProvider converts numeric values stored in HeatmapMatrixAdapter.Values to colors.

When a heatmap uses HeatmapDataSourceAdapter to load data, HeatmapObjectColorProvider converts color data member values to colors. A color data member can store the following values:

  • An integer ARGB color value (431493885)
  • Three, four, six, or eight digit hex code (#fc0, #f00f, #ff005d, #ff32cd32)
  • A string color name (SkyBlue)
  • A Color object
  • A SolidColorBrush object

Examples

The following example converts heatmap cell values to colors:
