Creating customized heat map

Anonymous — Mon, 22 Mar 2021 15:50:23 GMT

Hi,

I am trying to create a heat map which is supposed to show number of people on a blueprint of an office area. Is it possible to bring an image and create a visualization by putting data points (Number of People) on it? additionally using a time axis to see the density of people over time?

any help will be highly appreciated!!

Thanks 🙂

Yes, you can use SVG graphics to combine things like floor layouts and people locations. Use the HTML5 visual to have better size control (in tables you are limited to 150 px height)

Hi @Anonymous ,

Or you can use the 'Shape Map' to create your own custom map.

Generally office floor layouts do not have Lat/Lon mappings...

I have found a easier way to have data visualized on a floor plan through a custom visual called 'Synoptic Panel'. Its quite easy to bring an image like floor plan as a .svg file and connect that to data. That floor plan visual is even can be used a s filter.
