A good piece on constructing your own Heatmap in Flowingdata. Heatmaps are a way to visualize and quickly scan the values and fixed time relationships of many variables. A Good example: The S&P 500 heatmap, a small portion shown at the right. Note how color, size, clustering and clickthrough are effectively used. Good for dashboard-style visualization applications.
