9.5.1.4 The (Plot Details) Display Tab for Heatmap

This tab can be used to control the fill color, display styles, X/Y Coordinates and cell spacing on X/Y direction in a Heatmap/Polar Heatmap diagram.

Fill Color

Specify how to fill the color for cells. There are three color options: Indexing, Direct RGB and Map.

By default, Map:Mat(#):"###" is selected and Colormap tab will show up as following tab to let you control fill color, cell border, etc.

If you choose Indexing or Direct RGB, Colormap tab will not show up, but a Border and Transparency control will appear to let you customize the cell border and transparency of the fill color.

Fill Display

It supports Square, Upper Triangular, Upper Triangular without diagonal, Lower Triangular and Lower Triangular without diagonal five display styles. This control is not available for a Polar Heatmap.

Note:

If the Heatmap X and Y is not N*N, these four options Upper Triangular, Upper Triangular without diagonal, Lower Triangular and Lower Triangular without diagonal are not avaiable.

Gap between Cells

These sliders are used to control the width of the spacing on X/Y direction, on a scale from 0 to 100. This control is not available for a Polar Heatmap.

When the gap in one direction:

0 means there are no spacing between the cells in that direction, 100 means the cells will be displayed as lines in that direction.

When the gaps in both direction:

The calculation method of gap value is different from above. The cell value is not independent for X or Y. In both two direction, 100% cell value=(cell width+cell height)/2.

For example, if you set X Direction=30, Y Direction=50
the actual X direction gap value=(cell width+cell height)/2*30%
the actual Y direction gap value=(cell width+cell height)/2*50%
