7 years ago Just out of curiosity: Why would you want heatmaps with InspectDR?
- Do you like the speed of InspectDR?
- Do you prefer how the output looks?
- Do you prefer the mouse/keyboard interactivity?
Is there some other reason??

Thanks for the interest.
At the moment, I am not planning on supporting heatmap. Most of my work involves processing large datasets where y=f(x) - like time-domain simulation data.
InspectDR was built because I found most other backends were too slow/not interactive enough for my own needs.
Most of my (rare) heatmap needs are actually satisfied with other backends: I don't need to display heatmap datasets that are particularly large - nor do I need to generate them that often. In those cases, I would resort to PyPlot or something similar.
Alternative
InspectDR.jl supports the
:shapeconstruct from Plots.jl, so it might be possible to implement a Plots.jl "recipe" to generate heatmaps on any backend that does not natively support them (including InspectDR)......The part I am unsure about is whether the recipe could successfully generate a legend...
