      Heatmap properties

      Below you will find in-depth user information about each property, what it does and how it can be applied

      Many properties in the DATA section can be set overall for the whole chart, but also separately on data point level. See data point styling for more details.

      Name Text field to name the Series. By default, it is set to “New Series n”. The content of the name field behaves as an X-Axis label. Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Binding-Name
      Category Used for binding categories visually presented as a Y-Axis.  Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Binding-Category
        If there are one or more empty cells, an empty category is added. Values of multiple empty categories will be merged into one category. Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Binding-Category-empty-cells
      Value Used to bind values to the color of the cells. The bound column/row can represent only numerical values. Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Binding-Value
        If there are one or more empty cells, no heatmap cells are added. The order of categories remains unchanged. Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Binding-Value-Empty-Cells
      Color Used for direct binding of colors presented as HTML color, HEX, RGB, or CMYK values. More on that here. Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Binding-Color
      Data Label Used for direct binding of labels.

      Data labels binding overwrites the data labels represented by Values.      		 Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Binding-Data-Label

      		 Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Cell-Color
      Stroke

      Sets the stroke color and weight of the cell. 

      		 Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Cell-Stroke
      Stroke > 
      Cogwheel > Type

      Allows to set two types of stroke placement:

      • Inner (the stroke is placed inside the cell)
      • Center (the stroke is placed equally on both sides of the cell border)
      		 Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-Cell-Stroke-Type

      Stroke > Cogwheel >
      Corner

      Sets the type of the corner. There are two types available: Miter and Round. Available only if Center Type is applied.

      		 Helpenter-Properties-Line_chart-Line-Stroke-Corner

      GAPS BETWEEN CELLS

      Horizontal

      Sets width of the horizontal gap between cells.

      The relative gap is measured as a percentage of the cell width.

      The absolute gap is measured in absolute units set in Illustrator (px, mm, in, etc.).

      		 Helpcenter-Properties-HeatMap-GapsBetweenCells-Horizontal
      Vertical

      Sets the height of the vertical gap between cells.

      The relative gap is measured as a percentage of the cell height.

      The absolute gap is measured in absolute units set in Illustrator (px, mm, in, etc.)

      CORNER RADIUS

      Corner Radius

      Applies rounded corners to the cells.

      Separate settings for each corner can be applied by clicking on the cogwheel.
