Overview

A Heat Map widget is a good way to visually cross reference two axis of data by using colored objects to represent intensity.

For example, the AppBoard Welcome archive includes a heat map with sample data showing the hour of the day (0-23) against the day of the week (Mon through Sun). It's easy to see a pattern of increased activity during the business hours and less activity outside these hours.
