Abstract
heatplot creates heat plots from variables or matrices. One example of a heat plot is a two-dimensional histogram in which the frequencies of combinations of binned Y and X are displayed as rectangular (or hexagonal) fields using a color gradient. Another example is a plot of a trivariate distribution where the color gradient is used to visualize the (average) value of Z within bins of Y and X. Yet another example is a plot that displays the contents of a matrix, say, a correlation matrix or a spacial weights matrix, using a color gradient.
