heat map
Color-coded data display
A heat map is a data visualization that uses color gradients to represent values across a two-dimensional surface.
Warmer colors typically indicate higher values, cooler colors lower ones.
Heat maps display everything from website user behavior to population density to temperature patterns: The heat map showed most clicks concentrated in the upper left corner.
