Basic heat map

Dragging and dropping the occupation attribute onto the x cell and the age attribute onto the y cell and selecting Heat Map in the Plot cell will display a heat map associated to these two variables.

Heat map with weight

Dragging and dropping the capital-gain attribute onto the Weight cell will display the just built heat map weight-based on capital-gain values.

In this case, the heat map is not built based on raw frequencies, but on the Weight attribute.
