# Heat map formatting

Inforiver's heatmap formatting feature is a powerful tool for highlighting critical values. With a simple color scale, users can easily highlight their data values across any category or dimension, enabling a quick and intuitive understanding of performance. 

Inforiver ensures maximum readability and clarity for the reader by automatically switching font colors to white when the background color gets darker.
