Axis intervals

In HeatMap, you can define an interval between the axis labels using the interval property. In date-time axis, you can change the interval mode by using the intervalType property. The date-time axis supports the following interval types:

  • Years
  • Months
  • Days
  • Hours
  • Minutes

Axis label increment

Axis label increment in the HeatMap is used to display the axis labels with regular interval values in numeric and date-time axes. The labels will be displayed with tick gaps when you set the label interval. But, to achieve the same behavior without tick gaps, use the label increment. You can set the axis label increment using the increment property and the default value of this property is 1.

Limiting labels in date-time axis

You can display the axis labels at specific time intervals along with the date-time axis using the showLabelOn property. This property supports the following types:

  • None: Displays the axis labels based on the intervalType and interval property of the axis. This type is default value of the showLabelOn property.
  • Years: Displays the axis labels on every year between given date-time range.
  • Months: Displays the axis labels on every month between given date-time range.
  • Days: Displays the axis labels on every day between given date-time range.
  • Minutes: Displays the axis labels on every minute between given date-time range.

Multilevel Labels

Multilevel labels are used to classify a group of axis labels as a single category, which is then displayed with a label. By using multiLevelLabels, you can add multiple levels on top of the axis labels.

To divide and group the axis labels, you can use multiLevelLabels property. The starting and ending indexes of the axis labels can be set using the start and end properties in the categories. The text property can be used to specify a name for the grouped axis labels.

The multilevel labels can be customized by using the following properties.

  • overflow - It is used to trim or wrap the multilevel labels when the label overflows the intended space. NOTE: This property is only for x-axis.
  • alignment - It is used to place and align the multilevel labels.
  • maximumTextWidth - It is used to set the maximum width of the text. When the text length exceeds the maximum text width, the overflow action will be performed.
  • textStyle - It is used to customize the font style of the multilevel labels.
  • border - It is used to customize the border of the multilevel labels displayed in the x-axis and y-axis.
