Visualization improvement for heatmaps in geo-spatial features

Firenze11 opened this issue · 1 comments

Currently we have 2 ways to show numerical values over spatially distributed data:

  1. Overlapping heatmaps, used for displaying two data slices on a map:

geo feature view lat-lng

  1. Hexagon binned heatmaps, used for displaying spatially aggregated 1-Dimensional data (e.g. values of one feature):

geo feature view hex id

The drawbacks are:

  1. Overlapping heapmaps might occlude information
  2. It's hard to show multiple dimensions at the same time

We need to invent new visual encodings to fix it.
