CDDiscreteHeatMapLayerMBS.setColorAxis(x as integer, y as integer, alignment as integer, length as integer, orientation as integer) as CDColorAxisMBS

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	ChartDirector	MBS ChartDirector Plugin	21.2	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Sets the position, length and orientation of the color axis (color legend).

Argument	Default	Description
x	(Mandatory)	The x-coordinate of the reference point used to position the color axis.
y	(Mandatory)	The y-coordinate of the reference point used to position the color axis.
alignment	(Mandatory)	The alignment of the color axis with respect to the reference point. For example, a value of TopLeft means the reference point is the top- left corner of the color axis. See Alignment Specification for supported alignment types.
length	(Mandatory)	The length of the color axis in pixels.
orientation	(Mandatory)	The orientation of the color axis. A value of Top/Bottom means the axis is horizontal, and the axis labels are at top/bottom side of the axis. A value of Left/Right means the axis is vertical, and the axis labels are at the left/right side of the axis.

CDDiscreteHeatMapLayerMBS.setDirectColoring(b as boolean = true)

Type	Topic	Plugin	Version	macOS	Windows	Linux	iOS	Targets
method	ChartDirector	MBS ChartDirector Plugin	21.2	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	✅ Yes	All

Sets whether the data values are the colors themselves or if a CDColorAxisMBS will be used to map the data values to colors.

By default, a ColorAxis will be used to map the data values to colors. The setDirectColoring method allows directly specifying the colors of the cells without going through the CDColorAxisMBS.

Argument	Default	Description
b	true	A true value means the data values of the cells are their colors. A false value means a CDColorAxisMBS will be used to map the data values to colors.
