Series for visualizing a Polar Heatmap with a static sector and annuli count. Has API for fast modification of cell values.

PolarHeatmapSeries is optimized for high resolution data. For example, 1 degree precision or less along Radial Axis, and up to more than 2000 samples along Amplitude Axis. There is no hard cap on how much data you can put into a polar heatmap, the limit is the running device's GPU memory. Generally several million data points are no problem.

Created with addHeatmapSeries.

Methods

  • Attach object to an legendBox entry

    Returns

    Series itself for fluent interface

    Parameters

    • entry: LegendBoxEntry<UIBackground>

      Object which has to be attached

    • toggleVisibilityOnClick: boolean = true

      Flag that indicates whether the Attachable should be hidden or not, when its respective Entry is clicked.

    • matchStyleExactly: boolean = false

      By default, entries are assigned a smooth looking gradient based on the component color. If this flag is true, then this is skipped, and exact component solid fill is used instead.

    Returns PolarHeatmapSeries

  • Permanently destroy the component.

    To fully allow Garbage-Collection to free the resources used by the component, make sure to remove any references to the component and its children in application code.

    let chart = ...ChartXY()
    let axisX = chart.getDefaultAxisX()
    // Dispose Chart, and remove all references so that they can be garbage-collected.
    chart.dispose()
    chart = undefined
    axisX = undefined

    Returns

    Object itself for fluent interface

    Returns PolarHeatmapSeries

  • Get max amplitude value of PolarSeries' data points.

    Returns

    number or undefined if no data is set.

    Returns undefined | number

  • Get min amplitude value of PolarSeries' data points.

    Returns

    number or undefined if no data is set.

    Returns undefined | number

  • Get component highlight animations enabled or not.

    Returns

    Animation enabled?

    Returns boolean

  • Get whether series is taken into account with automatic scrolling and fitting of attached axes.

    By default, this is true for all series.

    Returns

    true default, axes will take series into account in scrolling and fitting operations. false, axes will ignore series boundaries.

    Returns boolean

  • Get if cursor interpolates solved data-points along series by default.

    Returns

    Boolean flag

    Returns boolean

  • Get theme effect enabled on component or disabled.

    A theme can specify an Effect to add extra visual oomph to chart applications, like Glow effects around data or other components. Whether this effect is drawn above a particular component can be configured using the setEffect method.

     // Example, disable theme effect from a particular component.
    Component.setEffect(false)

    For the most part, theme effects are enabled by default on most components.

    Theme effect is configured with effect property.

    Returns

    Boolean that describes whether drawing the theme effect is enabled around the component or not.

    Returns boolean

  • Get state of component highlighting.

    In case highlight animations are enabled, this method returns the unanimated highlight value.

    Returns

    Number between 0 and 1, where 1 is fully highlighted.

    Returns number

  • Get boolean flag for whether object should highlight on mouse hover

    Returns

    Boolean for if object should highlight on mouse hover or not.

    Returns boolean

  • Get boolean flag for whether object is currently under mouse or not

    Returns

    Boolean for is object under mouse currently

    Returns boolean

  • Get mouse interactions enabled or disabled. Disabled mouse-interactions will naturally prevent mouse-driven highlighting from ever happening.

    Returns

    Mouse interactions state

    Returns boolean

  • Get the name of the Component.

    Returns

    The name of the Component.

    Returns string

  • Get element visibility.

    Returns

    true when element is set to be visible and false otherwise.

    Returns boolean

  • Invalidate range of heatmap intensity values starting from first sector and annulus, updating coloring if a Color look up table (LUT) has been attached to the series (see setFillStyle).

     // Example, 3x3 grid full invalidation.
    const heatmapSeries = PolarChart.addHeatmapSeries({
    sectors: 3,
    annuli: 3
    })

    heatmapSeries.invalidateIntensityValues([
    // Annulus 0 intensity values.
    [0, 0, 0],
    // Annulus 1 intensity values.
    [1, 1, 1],
    // Annulus 2 intensity values.
    [0, 2, 0],
    ])

    Data interpretation basis is defined by dataOrder property from when the series was created.

    invalidateIntensityValues can trigger warnings when used controversially. In production applications, these can be controlled with warnings.

    Returns

    Object itself for fluent interface.

    Parameters

    • value: number[][]

      Matrix containing intensity values for each data slot of the grid.

    Returns PolarHeatmapSeries

  • Invalidate a partial range of heatmap intensity values, updating coloring if a Color look up table (LUT) has been attached to the series (see setFillStyle).

     // Example, 100x10 grid invalidate partial section of grid.

    const heatmapSeries = PolarChart.addHeatmapSeries({
    sectors: 100,
    annuli: 10
    })

    heatmapSeries.invalidateIntensityValues({
    // Index of first invalidated annulus.
    iAnnulus: 5,
    // Index of first invalidated sector.
    iSector: 10,
    // Intensity values matrix. It's dimensions imply the amount of invalidated sectors and annuli.
    values: [
    // 1st invalidated annuli intensity values.
    [1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
    // 2nd invalidated annuli intensity values.
    [2, 2, 2, 2, 2],
    // 3rd invalidated annuli intensity values.
    [1, 0, 0, 0, 1],
    // 4th invalidated annuli intensity values.
    [0, 1, 0, 1, 0],
    // 5th invalidated annuli intensity values.
    [0, 0, 1, 0, 0],
    ],
    })

    invalidateIntensityValues can trigger warnings when used controversially. In production applications, these can be controlled with warnings.

    Returns

    Object itself for fluent interface.

    Parameters

    • enabled: boolean

      Theme effect enabled

    Returns PolarHeatmapSeries

    Supported fill styles:

    PalettedFill:

    Colors heatmap fill by looking color up from LUT based on heatmap intensity values.

     // Example, color look up by intensity values.
    heatmapSeries.setFillStyle(
    new PalettedFill({
    lut: new LUT({
    steps: [
    { value: 0, color: ColorCSS('red') },
    { value: 20, color: ColorCSS('blue') },
    ],
    interpolate: true,
    }),
    }),
    )

    Assign intensity values with invalidateIntensityValues.

    SolidFill:

    Solid color for all heatmap cells. Supported for debugging purposes mainly.

    emptyFill:

    Disables heatmap fill.

     // Example, hide heatmap fill.
    heatmapSeries
    .setFillStyle(emptyFill)

    Returns

    Object itself for fluent interface.

    Parameters

    Returns PolarHeatmapSeries

  • Set state of component highlighting.

     // Example usage

    component.setHighlight(true)

    component.setHighlight(0.5)

    If highlight animations are enabled (which is true by default), the transition will be animated. As long as the component is highlighted, the active highlight intensity will be animated continuously between 0 and the configured value. Highlight animations can be disabled with setAnimationHighlight

    Returns

    Object itself

    Parameters

    • highlight: number | boolean

      Boolean or number between 0 and 1, where 1 is fully highlighted.

    Returns PolarHeatmapSeries

  • Set highlight on mouse hover enabled or disabled.

    Mouse interactions have to be enabled on the component for this to function as expected. See setMouseInteractions for more information.

    Returns

    Object itself for fluent interface.

    Parameters

    • state: boolean

      True if highlighting on mouse hover, false if no highlight on mouse hover

    Returns PolarHeatmapSeries

  • Set heatmap intensity interpolation mode.

    'disabled' or undefined: Interpolation disabled; draw data exactly as it is.

    Returns

    Object itself for fluent interface.

    Parameters

    Returns PolarHeatmapSeries

  • Set component mouse interactions enabled or disabled.

    Disabling mouse interactions means that the objects below this component can be interacted through it.

    • Mouse driven highlighting will not work.

    Returns

    Object itself for fluent interface

    Parameters

    • state: boolean

      Specifies state of mouse interactions

    Returns PolarHeatmapSeries
