Hello,
Is there a possibility to create a real 2D Heat Map with NetAdvantage for WPF? "Real" means something like the 2D Heat Map for WinForms (including color gradient), not like the Treemap in WPF: http://help.infragistics.com/Help/NetAdvantage/WinForms/2012.1/CLR2.0/HTML/Chart_Working_with_2D_Heat_Map_Chart_Data.html
If not: Is this planned to be introduced in future versions?
Thanks,
Steve
Hello Steve,
Using the heat map chart type you can add the UltraChart to a WindowsFormsHost object.
I have attached a sample.
Thank you for your answer! We will think about that possibility.
But are there any plans for the WPF package? We recently bought this package and don't want to use another one only for this control. But we are willing to buy updates if they contain more features.

Hi nkulki,
I don't remember the actual details of what I did, but I used the sample of the custom series as a starting point. The trick was to create your own custom series and set that as the series for the chart. This essentially replaces the charting engine. The way I implemented the series was using a grid, and each cell as its own control (button, canvas, whatever you need). Since the grid was uniform, it would scale correctly with the chart. I also used hashing to store the coordinate indexes of each cell for performance reasons, so when you mouse over them, you can look them up by coordinates instead of traversing all the cells.
Hope this helps somewhat.
Hi,
Could you please provide an example of how to use the xamDataChart to replicate the behaviour of the HeatMap control?
Thanks, I already employed this method, and have implemented my "heat map" using a custom series.
Hello Bedo,
In the xamDataChart can be customized and can be found on the following link on creating custom series.
Let me know if I can provide any further assistance.
