Hi all,

I have a dataset with x and y variables. I want to plat these variables on an x-y plot and overlay a heat map that shows the concentration of the points at a given area on the chart. So, the more (x-y-)points there are closely around a point, the darker/redder the colour. of the heat map.

Does anyone have any ideas of how to represent that?

Many thanks,

Chris

There are ways to color the areas behind the plot markers in a gplot (using annotate). And you could do some calculations on the data to do summary counts of the number of obsns/markers in each area, and color the areas accordingly.

I don't have an example that does that 'exact' thing, but here's one that is close:
