Spatially visualize the detailed results of a thermal mapping analysis from a comfort matrix.

## Inputs

* **comf\_mtx \[Required]**

  A comfort Matrix object from the "HB Read Thermal Matrix" component. 
* **mesh \[Required]**

  Mesh objects that correspond with the sensor grids of the thermal map analysis. These will be , with a number of faces or vertices that match the number of input values and will be colored with results. 
* **sim\_step**

  An optional integer (greater than or equal to 0) to select a specific time step of the comfort results to be displayed. Note that this will override any connected period. 
* **period**

  A Ladybug analysis period to be applied to select a slice of time across the comfort results to be displayed. 
* **legend\_par**

  An optional LegendParameter object to change the display of the results. 

## Outputs

* **report**

  ... 
* **mesh**

  The input mesh objects colored with results. 
* **legend**

  Geometry representing the legend for the results. 
* **title**

  A text object for the title. 
* **colors**

  The colors associated with each input value. 
* **values**

  A list of numbers for each face of the mesh, which are used to generate the colors.
