Hi all,
This a thread for my attempt at a heat mapping application for map developers. If you've been in chat over the past few weeks, you'll have already seen this in action a few times, this thread is for collecting feedback and ideas for further development.
What's a heat map?
A heat map is a visualization for allowing a designer to infer patterns from various kinds of spatial data according to the relative density of the data. A higher density results in a "hotter" map.
So, how's it progressing?
Currently, I have a working demo available at http://heatmaps.tf if you'd like to have a quick play. We're currently collecting data from all TF2Maps servers and another server host that's allowed us to collect data from them. This application is very much WIP and is in a development environment, so it may not be functioning at all at points.
Great, but I want the raw data!
Raw data is available using the API documented at http://heatmaps.tf/api.html
