Heat map supports two legend types: Gradient and list type.
You can change the legend type by using the type
property in the paletteSettings
property.

You can place the legend at left, right, top, or bottom to the heat map layout by using the position
property. The legend is positioned at the right to the heat map by default.

Smart legend is another way of showing list type legend with responsiveness and readability, when the palette has more number of items. You can enable this smart legend by using the enableSmartLegend
property when the palette type is set to Fixed
.
In smart legend, you can change the display type of legend labels by using the labelDisplayType
property.
The following are the legend label display types:
