Heat Map

Heat Map is used to visually represent the density or intensity of data on a map. Heat map uses a color gradient typically ranging from cooler colors (like red or cyan) to warmer colors (like blue or green) to indicate the level of activity or concentration of an attribute in an area. Where the cooler colors represent lower values, while the warmer colors represent higher values. A heat map is a powerful tool for visually analyzing spatial information, and providing valuable insights into the characteristics and trends within a geographic region.
