I would like to implement a Heat Map data visualization (not A*'s heat map) in a Dashboard but see there is no Heat Map in the library. Is there a way of modifying background cell colors of the Table Chart or similar object in an attempt to replicate a heat map? Something like this...
Thanks - Stan
Hello @Stan Davis,
You can export your data to Excel and easily add a heat map like this. I do not believe that the cells in a table chart or global are able to add color to them.
Yes (the pic is from Excel), but I need to see the data in real 'sim' time and not as a post analysis. I mentioned Table Chart, but I am looking for any ideas on how to emulate a Heat Map with the existing toolset. I am going to request a Dashboard Heat Map be added to FlexSim's features/capabilities. - Stan
In the meantime Stan, I'm attaching a model with two CustomGUIs that you can point to global tables using the sampler and change the color using the "HeatPallet" color pallet. The global variable maxHeat sets the top threshold.
To open this just right click the "HeatTable" objects in the Toolbox section marked "Graphical User Interfaces" and select "Show GUI". To switch the table use the sampler to select from the list of tables in the toolbox.
The two examples use a different technique to set the background color.
Update: it seems the attributes needed are documented here.
