{title:Heatmap graphs}

{p 8 14}{cmd:hmap} {help varlist} {bind: [, {cmdab:mon:ochrome}} {cmdab:sc:atter} ]

{p}{cmd:hmap} uses the three variables in {help varlist} to graph a heatmap. The first two variables specify x and y coordinates; the third specifies the "heat" or amplitude to graph at that (x,y) coordinate.
Option {cmd:monochrome} specifies a grayscale heatmap.  Option {cmd:scatter} places numerical values of the amplitude at each grid point.
