How resolve gnuplot artifacts in heat map












2















I'm trying to generate a heat map from data (https://pastebin.com/AgivvGgX). The data are not in the "matrix" form.



I tried to use pm3d map and I obtained the following plot:
enter image description here



I also tried to use dgrid3d and view map:



set view map
set pal def
set dgrid3d 40,40,3
splot "plot.dat" using 1:2:3 u pm3d


And I obtained the following result:
enter image description here



Both the plots are not correct. The dgird3d keyword creates artifacts where there are not data points.



I obtained a nice plot using the code:



set view map
set pal def
splot "plot.dat" using 1:2:3 with points pointtype 5 pointsize 1 palette linewidth 8


Here the result
enter image description here



I would like to obtain a map similar to the latter one, but not with discrete points or squares but as a continuous heat map and have a white background where data are not present. Is it possible?

          Since your data is irregular, you should use dgrid3d. It has various options (see help dgrid3d), here is a picture I've got while trying different kernels and options:



          set view map
          set palette defined (0 'white', 1 'blue', 2 'green', 3 'yellow', 4 'red')
          set dgrid3d 100,100 exp kdensity 10,10
          splot 'plot.dat' w pm3d palette


          enter image description here



          set dgrid3d 100,100 gauss kdensity 30,30
          replot


          enter image description here

          • Interesting. The original data ranges from 0 to 65 but the cbrange of the plots are now 0 to 120 and <50 to 400. How to "rescale" properly depending on the kdensity values? And how to distinguish between existing values =0 and missing values? The latter now look like as they would be 0.

          • Thank you. I obtained different color code between values equal to zero and missing value using the option: set dgrid3d 100,100 hann or set dgrid3d 100,100 box
