Overview

The JavaScript HeatMap Chart is a graphical representation of two-dimensional data where values are represented with gradient or solid color variations. The data points are rendered as HeatMap cells using Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) or canvas UI rendering.


Dealing with large data

Though the JavaScript HeatMap Chart can render data points using both SVG and canvas modes, it uses canvas rendering mode while displaying large volumes of data for the best initial load performance and optimized memory usage.


Data binding

The HeatMap Chart can be bound to data using JSON or an array of objects. JSON data can be local or remote, and it can be retrieved using different adaptors. The JSON data can be nested as well.
