Simple basic heatmap in D3.JS
The code below creates the extremely basic heatmap shown above using D3.JS. The heatmap data is stored in a flat 1D array, so X and Y dimensions need to be provided. I don’t think it would be too hard to modify this to process 2D arrays.
<html> <body> <svg class="output" width="500" height="500"> </svg> <script src="http://d3js.org/d3.v3.min.js"></script> <script> var max_value = 9; // This function converts a 0->max_value number to a rgb string for the heatmap function get_rgb(d) { var ratio = 2 * (d/max_value) var r = Math.floor(Math.max(0, 255*(ratio - 1))) var b = Math.floor(Math.max(0, 255*(1 - ratio))) var g = 255 - b - r return "rgb(" + r + "," + g + "," + b + ")"; } var svg = d3.select(".output") var mydata = [ 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,1,1,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,1,1,0,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,1,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,1,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,4,4,4,5,4,4,4,3,2,2,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,4,4,4,5,4,4,4,3,2,2,1,0,0,0, 0,1,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,6,5,5,4,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,6,5,5,4,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,6,8,7,6,5,5,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,6,8,8,6,5,5,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,4,4,5,6,6,7,7,6,5,5,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,4,4,5,6,6,7,6,6,5,5,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6,5,5,4,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6,6,5,4,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,5,5,5,4,3,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,4,4,4,3,2,1,1,0,0, 0,1,1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,4,4,4,3,2,1,1,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,3,3,2,2,1,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,3,3,2,2,1,1,0,0,0, 0,0,0,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,2,2,2,1,1,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,2,2,2,1,1,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,1,1,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,1,1,0,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,1,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,1,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,4,4,4,5,4,4,4,3,2,2,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,4,4,4,5,4,4,4,3,2,2,1,0,0,0, 0,1,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,6,5,5,4,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,2,3,4,4,5,6,7,6,5,5,4,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,7,8,7,6,5,5,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,3,4,5,5,7,8,8,6,5,5,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,4,4,5,6,6,7,7,6,5,5,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,4,4,5,6,6,7,6,6,5,5,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6,6,5,4,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6,5,5,4,4,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,5,5,4,4,3,3,2,1,0,0, 0,1,1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,4,4,4,3,2,1,1,0,0, 0,1,1,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,4,4,4,3,2,1,1,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,3,3,3,2,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,3,3,2,2,1,1,0,0,0, 0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,3,3,2,2,1,1,0,0,0, 0,0,0,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,2,2,2,1,1,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,2,2,2,1,1,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0, ] var selection = svg.selectAll("rect") .data(mydata) var cellsize = 5; var x_dim = 40; var y_dim = 40; selection.enter().append("rect") .attr("x", function(d,i) { return (i%x_dim)*cellsize; }) .attr("y", function(d,i) { return (Math.floor(i/x_dim))*cellsize; }) .attr("width", cellsize) .attr("height", cellsize) .style("fill", function(d) {return get_rgb(d);}) </script> </body> </html>
