V1.1: add initial map zoom

for JavaScript programming example, View Source of this page

user and developer guide for Google heatmap mashup     example Google heat maps

Google heatmap driver from PHP example code for V1.1

Type or paste 3 columns without a header line:

latitude longitude data

resolution of overlay grid (number of color cells)

x res:

y res:

lower cutoff* [0.0 to 1.0]:

blend exponent:
   should be greater than zero
   typical good values to try are 1.5 to 30

map size (pixels): x

initial map zoom:



Columns should be separated by blanks or tabs, not commas.

Map will be centered at the mean of the lat/long values.

Notes:
- x res and y res are limited to 60, for 3600 total color cells
   we may increase this limit in the future
- all columns of data should be numeric values

- *use lower cutoff value to avoid display of contour data which fade to zero
   such as over large bodies of water. This value should be
   given as a value from 0 to 1. Experiment to see the effect of this
   parameter with your data set. Set this value to 0 to display
   the full rectangular contour.
