This example demonstrates adding labels to the cells, adding gaps between cells and using a custom color scale.
This example is similar to
Discrete Heat Map, with the following additions:
The following is the command line version of the code in "cppdemo/heatmapcelllabels". The MFC version of the code is in "mfcdemo/mfcdemo". The Qt Widgets version of the code is in "qtdemo/qtdemo". The QML/Qt Quick version of the code is in "qmldemo/qmldemo".
