A Heat Map Chart displays data as a colored grid where each cell represents a value mapped to a color range. Heat maps are ideal for revealing patterns across two categorical dimensions at a glance.
This sample presents two heat maps side by side showing body fat percentage charts for men and women. Four body-type categories — lean, ideal, average, and above average — are each assigned a distinct color through an ordinal color scale. The vertical axis displays age ranges so you can compare fat percentages across age groups. Interactive legends let you highlight all cells belonging to a specific body type by hovering or clicking a legend item.
Follow the step-by-step Heat Map Tutorial to learn how such charts are built. See the Heat Map documentation for all configuration options.
