The extension adds the /heatmap route to the visualizaion of ExplorViz, which can be called from the navbar on the left. Metrics can be selected in the toolbar using the dropdown menu.
Depending on the chosen heatmap type, which can be configured in the heatmap tab of the configuration route, the colors of the heatmap either show the difference to a previous heatmap or an aggregated value of former heatmaps.
For better comprehension of the represented color values we added a legend to the visualization, which can be toggled on and off with the new button below the Back to Landscape button.
In the configuration we provide the selection of the individual heatmap types and visualization styles. Furthermore, we added some preferences to customize the visualization. The users can configure the used color gradients by changing the corresponding color values. Color values can be insterted as rgb, hex or other css compliant strings. They can, for instance be obtained from this color picker.
In order to provide information about the different metrics and configuration options we added tooltips to all new features.
