Heatmap.js
by admin
Heatmap.js is a JavaScript component that generates a heatmap overlay layer for Google Maps, without requiring server-side tile generation. Given a list of geographical points, heatmap.js renders a colored density layer using the HTML5 Canvas.
The example above is a screenshot from a soon-to-be-released demo of heatmap.js. Generated from the WikiLeaks Iraq War Logs, it shows the geographical density of reported deaths in a section of central Baghdad.
