Ability to toggle between "markers" and "shaded regions" to display locations

[jywarren]

When showing "shaded regions" clicking in a shaded region could pop up a list of the points within that region?

Perhaps as a break-out, shaded regions could be darker if there are more points within?

@jywarren Like a pop-up right? For getting list of all points in that region.

@publiclab/soc @jywarren How do I get all points between 4 lat,lng points using the API, or till what radius are the points fetched from the center lat,lng?

[jywarren]

Maybe this is a question for @milaaraujo @stefannibrasil ? I think we can search for people and nodes in a bounding box in the API... or maybe we need to add this?

[stefannibrasil]

hi, everyone!

we would need to add that, right now it is only getting the nodes near the given coordinates (lat and lon points):

I am not really sure how the radius is calculated there :thinking:

I am not sure why the code snippet isn't working, but there you can see that it only show the nearby nodes given a pair of coordinates... all of this to say that we can work on that in the next weeks!

[mridulnagpal]

@stefannibrasil @jywarren Sounds good as soon as the radius is known we can work on getting all the nodes inside a box.

OK, great! I also made a gh-pages at https://publiclab.github.io/leaflet-blurred-location-display/examples/index.html although it may take a little while to show up

[jywarren]

There we go!

@jywarren Is the API done?

[jywarren]

No, but just as you've added example locations, you can add ones that specify precision, and develop this display around the example data, don't you think?

@jywarren Got it, working on it!

[jywarren]

Breaking out an issue to develop ways to show multiple data points that have been blurred as a kind of "heat map" or chloropleth?

https://deutchland.maps.luftdaten.info/#4/35.03/5.40 does this in Leaflet, although with a hex grid...

There are for sure Leaflet chloropleth map plugins out there!

This is really cool 😄 . Will start work on this tomorrow 👍 !
