Is it feasible to create heat maps with SIMILE

[kiran polisetty]

 

Helo all,

 

 I have a generic question. I see some widgets like timeline, exhibit avaiable with SIMILE. i was asked to generate a POC for heat map generation using MIT Simile. I do not seem to find enough information to strongly establish that it is possble through SIMILE.  Since i am running out of time, i wanted assitance from u experts to help me uunderstand if this is possible . I have attached  a sample heat map of swine flue for your reference.

 

 

 

 

Thanks

kiran

Kiran,

I assume when you say "MIT SIMILE", you are referring to the SIMILE Exhibit project.  The open-source community this project was migrated to can be found here:

  http://www.simile-widgets.org/exhibit/

I suggest you look at the code that knits data into a Timeline or Google Maps.  This will give you an idea of how easy/difficult it is to code _your_ integration.  It's hard to answer your question without an idea of what the data looks like or what tool you want to use to create the heat-map.  (The screenshot is of Microsoft Maps, but you didn't mention if that is your intended target.)
