JavaScript Polar Uniform Heatmap Chart

Overview

This example demonstrates a Polar Uniform Heatmap Chart in JavaScript using SciChart.js, visualizing intensity data in a circular coordinate system. The implementation features a heatmap with radial and angular axes, color gradients, and interactive modifiers.

Technical Implementation

The chart is created using SciChartPolarSurface.create() with a PolarUniformHeatmapRenderableSeries for heatmap rendering. Data is generated via generateHeatmapData() which produces a 2D array of normalized values. The heatmap uses a HeatmapColorMap with custom gradient stops for color representation. Polar axes are configured with PolarNumericAxis for radial (EPolarAxisMode.Radial) and angular (EPolarAxisMode.Angular) dimensions.

Features and Capabilities

Key features include interactive modifiers like PolarPanModifier, PolarZoomExtentsModifier, and PolarMouseWheelZoomModifier for navigation. The heatmap legend is rendered separately using HeatmapLegend.create(), sharing the same color map for consistency. The example showcases performance-optimized rendering of 300x500 data points.

Integration and Best Practices

The implementation follows async initialization patterns for WebAssembly loading. Best practices include shared color mapping between chart and legend, and proper axis configuration for polar coordinates. For advanced usage, refer to the Polar Uniform Heatmap documentation.
