-----------------------------------

Thanks for the reply.

Originally I developed a system to explore UK crime statistics, more recently this is being used to plot (100+ million) GPS points from a mobile tracking app. The heatmap is used to show stop and transition points for various types of users and transportation. I was using the fact Solr could send PNG to handle the case when the local client or communication speed is limiting the responsiveness of the UI. The user can chose where the image is created. However due to the sensitivity of the tracking data we use a proxy NodeJS server between the client and Solr server, so I could remove the functionality to directly present the Solr PNG and instead provide the option to create the heatmap image on the proxy server. 

That said I think mapping zero to the transparent value would be useful for anyone who wishes to display the PNG, as a "cheap" way to view the heatmap.

> It would be useful to have transparent zero values so that I can overlay the image as a layer on a map.
> The change just requires altering two methods in SpatialHeatmapFacets.java as follows:
> {code}
> static void writeCountAtColumnRow(BufferedImage image, int rows, int c, int r, int val)
> {
>       image.setRGB(c, rows - 1 - r, val == 0 ? 0 : val ^ 0xFF_00_00_00);
> }
> static int getCountAtColumnRow(BufferedImage image, int rows, int c, int r)
> {
>       int val = image.getRGB(c, rows - 1 - r);
>       return val == 0 ? 0 : val ^ 0xFF_00_00_00;
> }
> {code}
