SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Heat maps provide a compact, visual way to reveal patterns by mapping numeric data to color gradients, turning large tables into intuitive visuals.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • TableMapping maps rows and multiple numeric columns for broad datasets.
  • CellMapping renders single cell values with row/column/value context.
  • ColorMappingCollection defines stops that drive the gradient and legend.
  • SfHeatMapLegend provides clear, interpretable legends for data interpretation.

Quick Start

Instantiate SfHeatMap in your XAML, bind a data source, configure ItemsMapping and ColorMappingCollection, and optionally attach a legend.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize tabular data as a color-mapped grid in a WPF application?

To visualize tabular data as a color-mapped grid in WPF, instantiate SfHeatMap in XAML, bind your ItemsSource, and configure ItemsMapping with ColorMappingCollection to render numeric values as gradient colors.

What is the difference between TableMapping and CellMapping for WPF heatmaps?

TableMapping and CellMapping define data structure for WPF heatmaps. TableMapping maps rows and multiple numeric columns for broad datasets, while CellMapping renders single cell values with specific row, column, and value context.

How do I add a legend to a WPF heatmap for data interpretation?

To add a legend to a WPF heatmap, attach the SfHeatMapLegend component to your SfHeatMap instance. It provides clear, interpretable legends driven by your defined ColorMappingCollection gradient stops.

Can I bind tabular data sources directly in XAML for WPF data visualization?

Yes, you can bind tabular data sources directly in XAML for WPF data visualization. SfHeatMap supports XAML binding for ItemsSource and mappings, allowing you to configure both data models and color ramps declaratively.

How do I define color gradients for density visualization in WPF?

To define color gradients for density visualization in WPF, configure the ColorMappingCollection. It defines gradient stops that drive the color ramp across the heatmap grid and populate the associated legend.

Does this WPF heatmap component support comparison across rows and columns?

Yes, this WPF heatmap component supports comparison across rows and columns. By mapping dataset values to color gradients via TableMapping or CellMapping, it reveals patterns and allows intuitive comparison across broad tabular datasets.
