WPF HeatMap Overview
The RadHeatMap control can be used to visualize numeric data in a matrix like representation along two axes. Its purpose is to present the data in colored rectangles where the color of each represents the rectangle's value and makes it quite easy to perceive and compare all values.
The RadHeatMap is part of Telerik UI for WPF, a
professional grade UI library with 160+ components for building modern and feature-rich applications. To try it out sign up for a free 30-day trial.
