Creating Heat Maps

With the JHeatChart jar on your classpath you will now be able to create heat map charts from your application. There are three basic steps to creating a heat map:

1. Construct a new instance of HeatChart, providing your data.
2. Configure the visual settings.
3. Either, call saveToFile(String) to output a png, jpg or gif image.
   Or, call getChartImage() to get the chart as a Java Image object for further processing.

Each of these steps is described in more detail in the JavaDoc documentation. The examples page has examples of this in action.
