Axis in Blazor HeatMap Chart Component
27 Mar 202322 minutes to read
Heat map consists of two axes namely, X-axis and Y-axis that displays the row headers and column headers to plot the data points respectively. You can define the type, format, and other customizing options for both axes in the heat map.
Types
There are three different axis types available in the heat map, which defines the data type of the axis labels. You can define the axis type by using the ValueType property in the heat map.
Category axis
Category axis type is used to represent the string values in axis labels.

public object HeatMapData { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
HeatMapData = GetDefaultData();
}
}
Numeric axis
Numeric axis type is used to represent the numeric values in axis labels.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap
<SfHeatMap DataSource="@HeatMapData">
<HeatMapTitleSettings Text="Sales Revenue per Employee (in 1000 US$)"></HeatMapTitleSettings>
<HeatMapXAxis Labels="@XAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.Numeric"></HeatMapXAxis>

public object HeatMapData { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
HeatMapData = GetDefaultData();
}
}
Date-time axis
Date-time axis type is used to represent the date-time values in axis labels with a specific format. In date-time axis, you can define the start and end date/time using the Minimum and Maximum properties.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap
<SfHeatMap DataSource="@HeatMapData">
<HeatMapTitleSettings Text="Sales Revenue per Employee (in 1000 US$)">
</HeatMapTitleSettings>
<HeatMapXAxis Labels="@XAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.Category"></HeatMapXAxis>

}
}
Inversed axis
Heat map supports inversing the axis origin for both axes, where the axis labels are placed in an inversed manner. You can enable axis inversing by enabling the IsInversed property.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap
<SfHeatMap DataSource="@HeatMapData">
<HeatMapTitleSettings Text="Sales Revenue per Employee (in 1000 US$)">
</HeatMapTitleSettings>
<HeatMapXAxis Labels="@XAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.Category" IsInversed="true"></HeatMapXAxis>
<HeatMapYAxis Labels="@YAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.DateTime" Minimum="@Minimum" Maximum="@Maximum" IntervalType="IntervalType.Months"></HeatMapYAxis>
</SfHeatMap>
@code{
int[,] GetDefaultData()
{
int[,] dataSource = new int[,]
{
{73, 39, 26, 39, 94, 0},
{93, 58, 53, 38, 26, 68},
{99, 28, 22, 4, 66, 90},

};
return dataSource;
}
public object Minimum = new DateTime(2007, 2, 1);
public object Maximum = new DateTime(2007, 7, 1);
string[] XAxisLabels = new string[] {"Nancy", "Andrew", "Janet", "Margaret", "Steven", "Michael" };
string[] YAxisLabels = new string[] { "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" };
public object HeatMapData { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
HeatMapData = GetDefaultData();
}
}
Opposed axis
In heat map, you can place the axis label in an opposite position of its default axis label position by using the OpposedPosition property.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap
<SfHeatMap DataSource="@HeatMapData">
<HeatMapTitleSettings Text="Sales Revenue per Employee (in 1000 US$)">
</HeatMapTitleSettings>
<HeatMapXAxis Labels="@XAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.Category" OpposedPosition="true"></HeatMapXAxis>
<HeatMapYAxis Labels="@YAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.DateTime" Minimum="@Minimum" Maximum="@Maximum" IntervalType="IntervalType.Months"></HeatMapYAxis>
</SfHeatMap>
@code{
int[,] GetDefaultData()
{
int[,] dataSource = new int[,]
{
{73, 39, 26, 39, 94, 0},
{93, 58, 53, 38, 26, 68},
{99, 28, 22, 4, 66, 90},

{7, 46, 47, 47, 88, 6},
{41, 55, 73, 23, 3, 79}
};
return dataSource;
}
public object Minimum = new DateTime(2007, 2, 1);
public object Maximum = new DateTime(2007, 7, 1);
string[] XAxisLabels = new string[] {"Nancy", "Andrew", "Janet", "Margaret", "Steven", "Michael" };
string[] YAxisLabels = new string[] { "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" };
public object HeatMapData { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
HeatMapData = GetDefaultData();
}
}
Label formatting
Heat map supports formatting the axis labels by using the LabelFormat property. Using this property, you can customize the axis label by global string format (‘P’, ‘C’, etc) or customized format like ‘{value}°C’.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap
<SfHeatMap DataSource="@HeatMapData">
<HeatMapTitleSettings Text="Sales Revenue per Employee (in 1000 US$)">
</HeatMapTitleSettings>
<HeatMapXAxis Labels="@XAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.Category"></HeatMapXAxis>
<HeatMapYAxis Labels="@YAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.Numeric" LabelFormat="${value}"></HeatMapYAxis>
</SfHeatMap>
@code{
int[,] GetDefaultData()
{
int[,] dataSource = new int[,]
{
{73, 39, 26, 39, 94, 0},
{93, 58, 53, 38, 26, 68},
{99, 28, 22, 4, 66, 90},
{14, 26, 97, 69, 69, 3},
{7, 46, 47, 47, 88, 6},
{41, 55, 73, 23, 3, 79}
};
return dataSource;
}
public object Minimum = new DateTime(2007, 2, 1);
public object Maximum = new DateTime(2007, 7, 1);
string[] XAxisLabels = new string[] {"Nancy", "Andrew", "Janet", "Margaret", "Steven", "Michael" };
string[] YAxisLabels = new string[] { "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" };
public object HeatMapData { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
HeatMapData = GetDefaultData();
}
}
Axis intervals
In heat map, 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.
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap
<SfHeatMap DataSource="@HeatMapData">
<HeatMapTitleSettings Text="Sales Revenue per Employee (in 1000 US$)">
</HeatMapTitleSettings>
<HeatMapXAxis Labels="@XAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.Category"></HeatMapXAxis>
<HeatMapYAxis Labels="@YAxisLabels" ValueType="Syncfusion.Blazor.HeatMap.ValueType.DateTime" Minimum="@Minimum" Interval=2 Maximum="@Maximum" IntervalType="IntervalType.Months"></HeatMapYAxis>
</SfHeatMap>
@code{
int[,] GetDefaultData()
{
int[,] dataSource = new int[,]
{
{73, 39, 26, 39, 94, 0},
{93, 58, 53, 38, 26, 68},
{99, 28, 22, 4, 66, 90},
{14, 26, 97, 69, 69, 3},
{7, 46, 47, 47, 88, 6},
{41, 55, 73, 23, 3, 79}
};
return dataSource;
}
public object Minimum = new DateTime(2007, 2, 1);
public object Maximum = new DateTime(2007, 7, 1);
string[] XAxisLabels = new string[] { "Nancy", "Andrew", "Janet", "Margaret", "Steven", "Michael" };
string[] YAxisLabels = new string[] { "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" };
public object HeatMapData { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
HeatMapData = GetDefaultData();
}
}
Axis label increment
Axis label increment in the heat map 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.

};
return dataSource;
}
string[] XAxisLabels = new string[] { "Nancy", "Andrew", "Janet", "Margaret", "Steven", "Michael" };
string[] YAxisLabels = new string[] { "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat" };
public object HeatMapData { get; set; }
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
HeatMapData = GetDefaultData();
}
}
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 multiple HeatMapMultiLevelLabel tag, you can add multiple levels on top of the axis labels.
To divide and group the axis labels, you can use multiple HeatMapAxisMultiLevelCategories tags. The starting and ending indexes of the axis labels can be set using the Start and End properties in the HeatMapAxisMultiLevelCategories tag. 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 and tags.
- 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.
- HeatMapAxisMultiLevelLabelsTextStyle - It is used to customize the font style of the multilevel labels.
- HeatMapXAxisMultiLevelLabelBorder - It is used to customize the border of the multilevel labels displayed in the x-axis.
- HeatMapYAxisMultiLevelLabelBorder - It is used to customize the border of the multilevel labels displayed in the y-axis.
