Detailed Description

Displays the trail of the mouse pointer inside a heat map.

The program creates two windows: the first is the "mouse playground", which is a small empty frame where the mouse movements are recorded; the second is a window that displays a "heat map", which is a two-dimensional plot made of rectangular cells, where the color of each cell is associated to a numerical value. In the present case, each cell represents a rectangular zone of pixels in the mouse playground, and the numerical value for each zone is the total number of mouse events that occurred in that zone. The end result looks like the following screenshot:

One can see the heatmap update as the user moves the mouse in the playground. Colors that tend towards blue indicate that the mouse has not spent a lot of time in that zone, while red and yellow colors indicate the mouse has spent more time. The plot only updates when the mouse moves.
