Dashboards & Visualizations

What is the syntax for applying a heat map overlay to a results table panel in simple xml?

The heat map being the function that highlights outstanding values in a results table, accessible via the "Overlay" drop down on the report builder, and documented for the advanced xml here: http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/4.1.3/Developer/ModuleReference#DataOverlay

Is there a way to apply this to table panels in simple xml?

A way to configure the heat map so you can tune what is considered serious (red) and not (white) would also be useful.

As you state in the docs you can only use: count, displayRowNumbers and showPager options in the simple dashboard XML. For example... 25 true etc... So, I converted my dashboard view to advanced view (append ?showsource=1 at end of URL) Then added heatmap to my advanced XML ... heatmap ... As a work around for now.
