You are now following this Submission

1 Basic use (基础使用)
1.1 Draw positive heatmap (非负矩阵)
figure()
Data = rand(15, 15);
SHM1 = SHeatmap(Data, 'Format', 'sq');
SHM1.draw();
1.2 Contains negative numbers (绘制有负数热图)
figure()
Data = rand(15, 15) - .5;
SHM2 = SHeatmap(Data, 'Format','sq');
SHM2.draw();
1.6 绘制有文本热图(Draw heat map with texts)
使用 setText() 方法显示文字:
Use the setText() method to display text:
figure()
Data=rand(12,12)-.5;
Data([4,5,13])=nan;
SHM7=SHeatmap(Data,'Format','sq');
SHM7=SHM7.draw();
SHM7.setText();
2 Various Format of heatmaps (各类型热图绘制)
  • 'sq' : square (default) : 方形(默认)
  • 'pie' : pie chart : 饼图
  • 'donut' :donut chart : 环形饼图(甜甜圈图)
  • 'circ' : circular : 圆形
  • 'bcirc' : circle with box : 有边框的圆形
  • 'oval' : oval : 椭圆形
  • 'hex' : hexagon :六边形
  • 'star' : star : 五角星
  • 'trill'(tril) : lower left triangle : 下三角
  • 'triur'(triu) : upper right triangle : 上三角
  • 'trilr' : lower right triangle : 右下三角
  • 'triul' : upper left triangle : 左上三角
  • 'asq' : auto-size square :自带调整大小的方形
  • 'acirc' : auto-size circular :自带调整大小的圆形
More Demos can be seen in README.xls
