Heatmaps
You can build heatmaps using the heatmap
top-level property.
The data format follows the apexcharts heatmap format, where each series is represented as a line in the chart:
- The
x
property of each item will be used as the x-axis value. - The
series
property of each item will be used as the y-axis value. - The
y
property of each item will be used as the value to display in the heatmap
The color
property sets the color of each series separately, in order.
select
'chart' as component,
'Survey Results' as title,
'heatmap' as type,
'Database managemet system' as ytitle,
'Year' as xtitle,
'purple' as color,
'purple' as color,
'purple' as color;
select
'PostgreSQL' as series,
'2000' as x,

Multiple charts on the same line
You can create information-dense dashboards by using the card component to put multiple charts on the same line.
For this, create one sql file per visualization you want to show,
and set the embed
attribute of the card component
to the path of the file you want to include, followed by ?_sqlpage_embed
.
select
'card' as component,
'A dashboard with multiple graphs on the same line' as title,
2 as columns;
select
'/examples/chart.sql?color=green&n=42&_sqlpage_embed' as embed,
'You can find the sql file that generates the chart [here](https://github.com/lovasoa/SQLpage/tree/main/examples/official-site/examples/chart.sql)' as footer_md;
select
'/examples/chart.sql?_sqlpage_embed' as embed;
