Heatmaps in Python 2.7

Python script for generating heatmaps for any coordinate data using jjguy/heatmap python module.

If you want to create your own dataset from Mouse Movement data you need to install:

  • pymouse
  • time
  • csv

If you just want to test the code you need to install:

  • Image

The generated heatmaps look like these

How to run the script

  • Before running the script, make sure you install the HEATMAP MODULE following the instructions on http://jjguy.com/heatmap/

    • You can also try pip install heatmaps

  • Then, make sure you have installed all the Dependencies

  • Open the calculator.py file and update the

    1. screen_width
    2. screen_height

    variables to those of your own system

Once everything is setup correctly run $ python heatmaps_release.py to try out the demo.

Creating a dataset

If you want to create your own dataset run $ python .datafiles/create/csv_file_creator.py. Your mouse movements will be logged on to a csv file in datafiles folder.

Genetating a heatmap from your custom dataset

In the heatmaps_release.py file in init_list method change the datafile variable to the PATH of your custom dataset. Then simply run the script.

Adding a custom image

In the heatmaps_release.py file in the merge_photos method change the picture variable to the PATH of the image you want to use.

Open the calculator.py file and update the
