Mental model

A Heatmap is a thermal camera view. It renders a grid of points as a color gradient — dense/hot vs. sparse/cool — for pressure maps, coverage, or intensity.

When to use it

  • Pressure or intensity across a surface (e.g. a foot pressure sensor)
  • Density / coverage visualization

Settings

Style

  • Color scheme · custom colors
  • Min / Max value — scale
  • Point shape · size
  • Contour color / width

Example — push points from firmware

The Arduino library has a dedicated helper:
