Support for heatmaps #32

Open amotl opened 4 years ago

amotl commented 4 years ago

@wetterfrosch recently mentioned that @samhatchett already added Leaflet's heatmap support through https://github.com/grafana/worldmap-panel/issues/17 / https://github.com/grafana/worldmap-panel/pull/35.

We would like to add support for that within this fork.

When thinking about heatmaps I accidentally stumbled upon the fact that "plot.ly" (which is already a grafana-plugin) seems basically a big Javascript library not only for tiles, but for maps with heatmaps and "chloropeth" (shapes!), too!

As people are for heatmaps considering WebGL over javascript in terms of performance, have a look who does that, too: https://plot.ly/javascript/heatmap-webgl/.
