That makes sense :). How would I get those cool color blending effects in the examples above? If I were to do it now I would just draw a red circle or square if the threshold were between 15 and 20...
Here's something that's pretty close to what I want to do. http://universalmind.com/demo/launchpad.cfm At 4:19 in the video they switch to a heat map view. Before that they just lay down little circles, which I can do. Maybe when they switch to the heat map view they just take their circles and add a lot of glow and blur to them and up the opacity to the outer colors (blue and green)...what do you guys think? --- In [email protected], "Abyss Knight" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > It's been a very long time since I've worked with this sort of thing, > but I would imagine you would first generate a histogram of all the > possible concentrations and then map that into the color set you want > to show (just putting everything into colored buckets).
