Heatmap
=========

[AOIFeatures](../../argaze.md/#argaze.AreaOfInterest.AOIFeatures) provides [Heatmap](../../argaze.md/#argaze.AreaOfInterest.AOIFeatures.Heatmap) class to draw heatmap image.

## Point spread

The **point_spread** method draw a gaussian point spread into heatmap image at a given pointer position.

## Heatmap

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

```python
from argaze.AreaOfInterest import AOIFeatures

# Create heatmap of 800px * 600px resolution
heatmap = AOIFeatures.Heatmap((800, 600))

# Initialize heatmap
heatmap.init()

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

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

	# Do something with heatmap image
	... heatmap.image

```
