Video Tutorial: Create & Use Heat Matrix Data Visualizations in Panopticon EX

A Heat Matrix is a special type of Heatmap data visualization. It is an excellent choice if your data items can be categorized into multiple groupings (for example, By Region and By Product), and you want to understand the correlation between these groupings.

A Heat Matrix is similar to a Heatmap or a Treemap in that it displays many different data items and it can represent the value for each item using colors. However, unlike a Heatmap or a Treemap, the Heat Matrix has a defined structure where two data attributes define each data item, thus producing a matrix. Within the Heat Matrix, each column and row represents a unique attribute, and the point where two items intersect represents a unique combination of the two attributes.

The Heat Matrix visualization is available in all of our products, including Panopticon EX and the Developer SDK.

This tutorial uses Panopticon EX to explain the Heat Matrix but the same principles apply to our Developer SDK.
