Plotting hitmap with different box size

4 views (last 30 days)
Hello,
I have a 64x9 matrix and I want to plot a heatmap with different box sizes. Figure as below.
Can someone please help me with this? Added sample data file

Yeah. That's why I am asking help if someone can do this with codes. I couldn't find anything like this in File Exchange.

You can do this quite easily with scatter3. I'll give it a try.

You can create this pretty easily using patches:
The test data:
c = rand(20,9)*2 - 1; % Color value
s = c; % Scale value
Plot
% Coordinates for a box
xbox = [-1 -1 1 1 -1]*0.5;
ybox = [-1 1 1 -1 -1]*0.5;
% Coordinates for the box centers
[yc,xc] = ndgrid(1:size(c,1), 1:size(c,2));
xc = xc + 0.5;
yc = yc + 0.5;
% Scale the box and add to center coordinates
x = xc(:) + xbox.*s(:);
y = yc(:) + ybox.*s(:);
% Plot
patch(x',y',c(:),'edgecolor', 'none');
axis tight equal;
set(gca, 'clim', [-1 1]);
colorbar;
Note that in this example I'm using the implicit expansion that was introduced recently (R2017 or so)... in older versions you'll have to use repmat, bsxfun, etc.

Here's an alternative using scatter3.
%%Some data
[X,Y]=meshgrid(1:10,1:10);
Z=rand(10,10).*2-1;
figure;hold on
%%Scale for color
zc=(Z+1).*100;
cn = ceil(max(zc(:)));
cm = colormap(parula(cn));
%%Scale Z for box size
zb=abs(Z(:).*850);
%%plot and fix visuals
h=scatter3(X(:), Y(:), Z(:), zb,cm(ceil(zc),:),'s','filled')
colorbar
caxis([-1 1])
set(h,'markeredgecolor','k')
set(gca,'xtick',1:10,'ytick',1:10)
box on
axis([0,11,0,11])
view(2)
grid on
