AOI Frame
=========

[AOIFeatures](/argaze/#argaze/AreaOfInterest.AOIFeatures) provides [AOIFrame](/argaze/#argaze/AreaOfInterest.AOIFeatures.AOIFrame) class to draw into an 2D AOI.

## Point spread

The **point_spread** method draw a gaussian point spread into the frame at a given pointer position.

![Point spread](../../img/point_spread.png)

## Heatmap

Heatmap visualisation allows to show where a pointer is most of the time.

![Heatmap](../../img/heatmap.png)

```python
from argaze.AreaOfInterest import AOIFeatures

# Create an AOI
aoi = AOIFeatures.AreaOfInterest([[0, 0], [1, 0], [1, 1], [0, 1]])

# Create AOIFrame related to this AOI with 800px * 600px resolution
aoi_frame = AOIFeatures.AOIFrame(aoi, (800, 600))

# Initialize heatmap
aoi_frame.heatmap_init()

# Assuming a pointer position (x, y) is moving inside frame
...:

	# Update heatmap at pointer position
	aoi_frame.heatmap_update((x, y), sigma=0.05)

	# Do something with heatmap picture
	... aoi_frame.heatmap

```
