Do you know about openheatmap (http://www.openheatmap.com )? Basically
you can supply spreadsheets of locations vs data and it will do the
graphics for you. It doesn't know about postcodes, but if you have the
means to get locations for postcodes you don't have to do any of the rest.

Hi all,
A friend has come to me with an interesting-sounding request, and I just
wondered how feasible it might be.
He has a database of UK postcodes and some measurement or other (not
sure what yet) and would like to create a heat map.
Neither of us are techies, but I've been contributing to OSM for a year
now and am familiar with JOSM and (to a lesser extent) QGIS.
How difficult a project is likely to be? (bearing in mind I'd be doing
it in my spare time as a favour and for my personal interest)
I assume you'd first have to convert the postcodes to lat/lon? Then I'd
need a rendering tool for the "heat" colours, and then a simple base map
on which to overlay it (just thinking out loud now).
It sounds like the sort of thing it'd be useful to have a tutorial for.
If one exists, great! If not, and if I'm successful, I might have a go
at writing one.
Thanks in advance,
David. (user Pgd81)
