Package Overview

Package selection guidance compiled from public package information, community data, and project usage.

fl_heatmap is a Flutter package that provides a customizable heatmap widget for visualizing data across two dimensions. It supports various styling options, including color schemes, cell sizing, and label customization, making it ideal for displaying density or frequency patterns in datasets. The widget integrates seamlessly into Flutter apps across multiple platforms, offering smooth rendering and responsive behavior. It's particularly useful for analytics dashboards, geographical data visualization, and time-series heatmaps. Built with performance in mind, it handles large datasets efficiently while maintaining a clean, intuitive API.

Use cases

  • Data density visualization
  • Analytics dashboards
  • Geospatial data representation
  • Time-series heatmaps
  • User activity tracking

Key features

  • Customizable color schemes
  • Configurable cell sizes
  • Support for labels and tooltips
  • Responsive design
  • Efficient rendering for large datasets
  • Cross-platform compatibility

Suitable for

  • Developers building data visualization features
  • Teams creating analytical dashboards
  • Apps requiring pattern recognition in data
  • Educational tools with interactive charts
  • Projects involving spatial or temporal data

Considerations

  • Requires understanding of 2D data structure
  • Performance may vary with very large datasets
  • Limited built-in interactivity beyond tooltips
  • Styling options require careful configuration for optimal appearance

3 - Use it

This is an example for the months of four years:

import 'package:fl_heatmap/fl_heatmap.dart';

class _ExampleState extends State<ExampleApp> {
  HeatmapItem? selectedItem;

  late HeatmapData heatmapData;

  @override
  void initState() {
    _initExampleData();
    super.initState();
  }

  void _initExampleData() {
    const rows = [
      '2022',
      '2021',
      '2020',
      '2019',
    ];
    const columns = [
      'Jan',
      'Feb',
      'Mär',
      'Apr',
      'Mai',
      'Jun',
      'Jul',
      'Aug',
      'Sep',
      'Okt',
      'Nov',
      'Dez',
    ];
    final r = Random();
    const String unit = 'kWh';
    heatmapData = HeatmapData(rows: rows, columns: columns, items: [
      for (int row = 0; row < rows.length; row++)
        for (int col = 0; col < columns.length; col++)
          HeatmapItem(
              value: r.nextDouble() * 6,
              unit: unit,
              xAxisLabel: columns[col],
              yAxisLabel: rows[row]),
    ]);
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final title = selectedItem != null
        ? '${selectedItem!.value.toStringAsFixed(2)} ${selectedItem!.unit}'
        : '--- ${heatmapData.items.first.unit}';
    final subtitle = selectedItem != null
        ? '${selectedItem!.xAxisLabel} ${selectedItem!.yAxisLabel}'
        : '---';
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('Heatmap plugin example app'),
        ),
        body: SingleChildScrollView(
          child: Column(
            children: [
              const SizedBox(height: 16),
              Text(title, textScaleFactor: 1.4),
              Text(subtitle),
              const SizedBox(height: 8),
              Heatmap(
                  onItemSelectedListener: (HeatmapItem? selectedItem) {
                    debugPrint(
                        'Item ${selectedItem?.yAxisLabel}/${selectedItem?.xAxisLabel} with value ${selectedItem?.value} selected');
                    setState(() {
                      this.selectedItem = selectedItem;
                    });
                  },
                  rowsVisible: 5, // Only the first 5 rows are visible
                  heatmapData: heatmapData)
            ],
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

If necessary you can inherit from HeatmapItem and attach some payload, e.g. the electricity costs for the consumption:

class CustomHeatmapItem extends HeatmapItem {
  CustomHeatmapItem(
      {required this.costs,
      required double value,
      required String unit,
      required String xAxisLabel,
      required String yAxisLabel})
      : super(
            value: value,
            unit: unit,
            xAxisLabel: xAxisLabel,
            yAxisLabel: yAxisLabel);
  
  final double costs;
}

Features

  • Supporting custom color schemes with dynamic size or use predefined color palettes such as colorPaletteTemperature, colorPaletteRed, colorPaletteBlue.
  • x- and y-axis labels are completely dynamic
  • Do not show the x-axis/y-axis labels if necessary
  • Detect clicks on cells and get back the data item to show detailed information about the cell
  • Use different styles for the cells if necessary
  • Show only the first lines and user can request to show all
