Heat Map Chart
Overview
A Heatmap Chart is a graphical representation of two-dimensional data where values are depicted using color variations, either gradient or solid. The data points are rendered as Heatmap cells using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) or canvas-based UI rendering. This chart type is ideal for visualizing data across two categories simultaneously.
In this document, we will demonstrate how to create a Heatmap Chart widget under the “Other Charts” section. Heatmaps are particularly useful for illustrating relationships, such as sales values across different countries and product lines.
