Notes

  • This plot is most easily created from a virtual matrix. The plotvm dialog box allows you to specify a column label row to be used in labelling each horizontal "bar" in the plot.
  • Data in the X column must be monotonic.
  • To modify spacing between "bars", activate the graph and choose Format: Plot. Click the Spacing tab and adjust the Gap Between Cells in Y Direction slider.
  • To see how the plot depicted above is made, press F11 to open the Learning Center and search for "heatmap".
  • This plot type shares controls with the standard Heatmap and the Heatmap with Labels.
