Hi all,

I would like to compute a raster density map ("heat map") from vector points using v.kernel. The points represent house addresses. However, I would need to weight the points with a value stored in the attribute table (number of inhabitants). I saw on the module manual page that this functionality is a "known issue".

I imagined a solution to by-passe the limitation: duplicate each point as many time as needed (according to the value stored in the attribute table) and use this new layer directly in v.kernel. However, I think it will definitely not be the most efficient way to do the trick. Do you have an alternative in mind ?

Of course the best solution would be that someone in the development community would have the time and the kindness to implement this function directly in the module (I'm not skilled in C and thus cannot try myself).

NB: Sorry if I should have posted this on the developer mailing list. I hesitated but decided to post here finally.

Best,
