Data

Using french communes population.

pop <- read_sf("~/data/adminexpress/adminexpress-cog-simpl-000-2024.gpkg",
               layer = "commune") |> 
  st_centroid() |> 
  select(population)

Map

maplibre(center = c(5, 45),
         zoom = 6) |>
  add_heatmap_layer(
    id = "pop",
    source = pop,
    heatmap_weight = interpolate(
      column = "population",
      values = c(0, max(pop$population)),
      stops = c(0, 30)),
    heatmap_intensity = interpolate(
      property = "zoom",
      values = c(0, 1),
      stops = c(9, 3)),
    heatmap_color = interpolate(
      property = "heatmap-density",
      values = seq(0, 1, 0.2),
      stops = c(
        "rgba(33,102,172,0)", "rgb(103,169,207)",
        "rgb(209,229,240)", "rgb(253,219,199)",
