binify other things than density #32

Hi, I would like to display the exact thing your tool is displaying. But the data is not a cloud of points. It is a function wich associates a quantity to a location.

There is a difference, since zooming on a bunch of points will disperse them, thus the density will decrease. Zooming on a location doesn't change that location, thus the function will not change its output. But by zooming, more hexagons will appear, so there is more hexagon color to compute.

I have the feeling that I am not very clear, ask me anything that doesn't make sense. I will try to use your code to implement the tool I am speaking of in 2 or 3 weeks if I can find the time, I will make a pull request at this occasion.
