I am looking for a way to visualize some data of the form :

latitude longitude temperature

as image(s). Have many of these 3-tuple lines uniformly distributed on a region.

Ultimately, I am looking for a dynamic way, but even a statically creation of an image would be fine.

I need the image in order to use it as an overlay for google maps (or something similar) and looking for an end result like the one here.

  • It seems you have already answered your own question! I've voted as off-topic, as this seems to be oriented towards a programmatic implementation. – Andy W May 28 '13 at 12:08
  • @AndyW What's the answer? I think you misunderstood some part of the question. I am looking for a way to get a visual result (image) of my data. And I do not have one.

    Not necessarily looking for a programmatic implementation, even though that's my ultimate goal.

    For now, even a simple program that accepts CSV data and visualizes them as an image output would be fine. I do not necessarily need to know how it works or how to automate it.

  • Please read the FAQ. If the question were How do I visualize such data? that may be on topic, but how to get software to produce a map that looks like the one you cite is not. For software, I would suggest you peruse the work of Tomislav Hengl. He has various examples in open source R, and has R libraries to export the map images to KML. – Andy W May 28 '13 at 13:11
  • I believe that this is my question. Of course that only holds provided that the answer to How do I visualize such data? has to do with how can I do it , ie as image is not an answer. I am sorry if my question is still out of stats.exchange topics. I thought that here was the right place to get an answer regarding the visualization of such data. Thank you for the link, I will look up into it. –  May 28 '13 at 13:58
