Clearing all datapoints from leaflet heatmap overlay not possible

[tapiokulmala]

There seems to be no way to clear all datapoints from the leaflet heatmap overlay. The problem is most likely in the _update function of the leaflet heatmap overlay.

if (this._data.length == 0) { return; }

With h337 it's possible but not with heatmap overlay.

I hit the same issue. Worked around it by resetting the underlying heatmap directly:

this.heatmapLayer.setData(d)

if (d.data.length===0)
    this.heatmapLayer._heatmap.setData(d)

I know it is too late, have you tried

heatMap.setData({data:[]});
