The HTML part


            

              
              
<head>
   <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
   <style type="text/css">
     html { height: 100% }
     body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
     #map-canvas { height: 100% }
   </style>
   <script type="text/javascript"

   <script type="text/javascript">
     var overlayMaps = [{
       getTileUrl: function(coord, zoom) {
         return "hm.fcgi?tile="+coord.x+"+"+coord.y+"+"+zoom;
       },
       tileSize: new google.maps.Size(256, 256),
       isPng: true,
       opacity: 0.4
     }];
  
     function initialize() {
       var mapOptions = {
         center: new google.maps.LatLng(48.2130, 16.375),
         zoom: 9
       };
       var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),
           mapOptions);
  
     var overlayMap = new google.maps.ImageMapType(overlayMaps[0]);
     map.overlayMapTypes.setAt(0,overlayMap);
  
     }
     google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
  
   </script>
 </head>
 <body>
   <div id="map-canvas"/>

The (f)cgi part

my $cache = CHI->new( driver => 'File',

  # package needs a CHI Object for caching

You need a color palette (one is included) to encode values to colors, in Storable Format as an arrayref of arrayrefs eg


            

              
              
[50] = [34, 45, 56]

which means that a normalized value of 50 would lead to an RGB color of 34% red , 45% blue, 56% green.

zoom_scale

The maximum number of points for a given google zoom scale. You would be able to extract to values from the denisity log or derive them from your data in some cunning way

cache

You need some caching for the tiles otherwise the map would be quite slow. Use a CHI object with the cache you like

return_points

A function reference which expects a single hashref as a parameter which defines two LAT/LONG points to get all data points within this box:


            

              
              
$r->{LATN}, $r->{LNGW}), $r->{LATS}, $r->{LNGE}

The function has to return an arrayref of arrayrefs of the points within the box

tile

Returns the rendered image

  • put more magic in calculation of zoom scales
  • make more things configurable
  • add even more tests
