A strike by expiration grid showing where a chosen greek is concentrated across the whole options chain, at a glance.
A greeks heatmap is a strike by expiration grid of options exposure for one ticker. Rows are strikes. Columns are expiry dates. Panels are GEX GAMMA EXPOSURE, VEX VANNA EXPOSURE, CEX CHARM EXPOSURE, DEX DELTA EXPOSURE, OI NET OPEN INTEREST, and GRAVITY MAGNET SCORE. GEX, VEX, CEX, and Gravity start on. It is a map, not a trade.
Gamma Exposure is a strike table that collapses expirations into one row of walls. Net Premium Heatmap is a strike by expiry grid of Net Premium dollars. Market Cross Flow is a three ticker GEX grid next to candles, locked to SPY, SPXW, and QQQ. Option Depth Flow is a strike by time chart for one ticker. This page is one ticker you type in Ticker. Each grid cell is a strike and an expiry. Green is positive. Each negative metric keeps its own color: red on GEX, orange on VEX, purple on CEX, pink on DEX, magenta on OI. Gravity is not a grid. It is a ranked Magnet Score list with Rank, Strike, Live, Open, Diff, and Level. Rows stay in strike order, so Rank 1 can sit away from last price. A loud cell can still be a hedge, a spread, or a dealer book. None of those cells is an order.

Gravity legend
The bar under the page title has Panels, Strikes, Expiries, and Ticker. Use those controls to change the map. Do not treat them as a score.
Read last price, then the arrow
Check the ticker badge. Find the arrow. Compare that strike across expiries before you hunt far from spot.
Leave GEX, VEX, CEX, and Gravity on
Most sessions start there. Turn on DEX or OI when you want those grids. Turn a panel off only if you still have one left.
Read Gravity as a score, not a sort
Rows stay in strike order. Rank 1 can sit away from last price. Live, Open, Diff, and Level are the columns on that row.
