Example

This example shows how to use arrays of string and numeric values to create a heatmap.

A heatmap that uses a Matrix Adapter

Follow the steps below to create a heatmap:

  1. Add the HeatmapControl to the project.

  2. Create a HeatmapMatrixAdapter object and assign it to the HeatmapControl.DataAdapter property.

  3. 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.

  4. Assign a two-dimensional array of double values to the adapter’s Values property.

  5. Create a HeatmapRangeColorProvider object and assign it to the HeatmapControl.ColorProvider property. The Range Color Provider paints cells based on a value range to which the cell value belongs.

  6. Set the HeatmapControl.Legend property to a HeatmapLegend object to display a legend.

    Specify the color provider’s HeatmapPaletteColorProvider.LegendItemPattern property to format legend items.

  7. Use the HeatmapControl.AxisX and HeatmapControl.AxisY properties to customize heatmap axes.

  8. To display cell labels, initialize the HeatmapControl.Label property with a HeatmapLabel object.
