Example

import { select } from 'd3-selection';
import { heatmap } from '@britecharts/core';

// dataset: [{ day, hour, value }], day 0-6 and hour 0-23, or indexes into
// yAxisLabels and xAxisLabels
const heatmapChart = heatmap();

heatmapChart
.width(500);

select('.css-selector')
.datum(dataset)
.call(heatmapChart);
