A tiny, fast heatmap plugin for the Leaflet mapping library, built on simpleheat with grid clustering for performance. It renders point intensity data as a customizable canvas heatmap layer on interactive maps.
Use cases
- visualize point density on a Leaflet map as a heatmap
- show intensity of events like crime or sightings geographically
- render 10,000+ points smoothly on a web map
- customize heatmap colors, radius, and blur
- dynamically add points to a live heatmap
When to choose
- you already use Leaflet and need a lightweight heatmap layer
- you need fast rendering of many points in the browser
- you want simple options for gradient, radius, and intensity
When to avoid
- you need a full-featured GIS analysis tool rather than visualization
- you use Mapbox GL or another non-Leaflet mapping stack
- you need server-side heatmap generation
