This chapter we will introduce Highcharts heat map.
In the previous section we already know Highcharts configuration syntax. Let's look at the other configurations Highcharts.
Heat Map

Configure the type of chart 'heatmap'. chart.type describes the chart type. The default value is "line".
var chart = {
type: 'heatmap'
};
