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.
After some research, including a heat map type has been determined to be a new feature request. I have sent your feature request directly to our product management team. Our product team chooses new feature requests for development based on popular feedback from our customer base. Infragistics continues to monitor application development for all of our products, so as trends appear in requested features, we can plan accordingly.
We value your input, and our philosophy is to enhance our toolset based on customer feedback. If your feature is chosen for development, you will be notified at that time. Your reference number for this feature request is PI12100018.
If you would like to follow up on your feature request at a later point, you may contact Developer Support management via email. Please include the reference number of your feature request in the subject and body of your email message. You can reach Developer Support management through the following email address: dsmanager@infragistics.com.
Thank you for your request.

Can the TreeChart be customized to become a heatmap?
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.
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.
