  • The answer was the title!
    However it wasn't obvious what language this was for. Only spotted that the Category was R language in the question list at the bottom, but nothing in the question itself.

  • I see no essential difference between a heat map and a 2D contour plot. As in e.g. https://se.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/152662-creating-a-simple-contour-plot-heat-map?

  • It is not a "heat map" because that implicitly required clustering - reducing the data values, which is why the Cran R project provides the pheatmap function.
    The image function is a simple 2d plot of the matrix values.

  • Crap, all I had to do was read the title and I would have got it right.

    In the general definition, a heat map is a plot of matrix values using color. There's no mention of clustering.

    "A heat map (or heatmap) is a graphical representation of data where the individual values contained in a matrix are represented as colors."

    I missed the title 😀
