Legend types

Heat map supports two legend types: Gradient and list type.

  • Gradient - This is a continuous color legend with smooth color transition between palette color values.
  • List - List is a fixed color legend. Each palette color information is shown separately in the list item.

You can change the legend type by using the type property in the paletteSettings property.

Paging for legend

Paging is available only for the list type legend in the heat map, and it can be enabled by default,when the legend items exceed the legend bounds. You can view each legend items by navigating between the pages using navigation buttons.

Smart Legend

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:

  • All: Displays all labels in the legend.
  • Edge: Displays the legend labels only at extreme ends.
  • None: None of the labels are displayed. The tooltip will appear for this type of label display when hovering over the legend item.
