Density map of Points in Grasshopper

[maxclifford27colway]

Hey I am new to GH and was wondering if there is any way of using a surface or mesh as a way to map the changing densities of the points shown in the photo below. The map is to show the density of pipes in a city but I cannot figure out a way to create a script that will accomplish this.

Cheers

I would even settle for just changing the colour of the points in a gradient colour scheme to create a sense of fluctuating densities in certain areas

Here you go!

As I say I am a beginner on GH so the script might be completely wrong

Dont have merkat. Can you just internalize the final points?

[maxclifford27colway]

How do I internalise the final points? hahah sorry I’m so new to this

[tim.stark]

No problem. Right click on the “point container”, there’s an option: Internalize Data.

What about just using point groups.

Actually I think Proxy is more what you are after.

3 fast approaches.

Dunno how you want it to look.
First one is just displaying the Points. The other two are meshes.

Works fine here.

Flatten your points. Same for my script.

(higher res -> less fuzzy -> longer calc)

[maxclifford27colway]

Thanks so much, this is exactly what i want! is there anyway to bake or export this as a line file or export file in which keeps the colours and points?

So i can put into illustrator or CAD
