Hexagonal binning is a technique used to show the density of a large number of points. We can encode the density of the data in two ways. The first of which is by colour, this means that more dense areas of the plot are encoded with darker hexagons. The second is where we set the area of each hexagon to correspond to the density within its locality. This means that more dense regions have larger hexagons.
To use this example, click one of the buttons on the side to transition between the two encodings.
