Series for visualizing a large dataset having over 100k data items.

What problem does this feature solve?

I am struggling to find a series for drawing a set of over 100k rectangular elements and map the visual map to their values.
It should look like the heat map series but it can support value axes.
I have tried the following series but none of them worked as what I expected:

• Heat map series does not support value axes.
• Custom series has a terrible performance when holding my dataset. I could not even zoom in when using the custom series.
• ScatterGL has a performance as what I expected but it does not support the way to draw the point using axes unit size.

Is there any other series that I could use to fulfill my requirement?

What does the proposed API look like?

I expect a series having the same performance as the scatter GL and supporting drawing element in axes unit size as what the custom series does.

@nguyencuongabcxyz Hi, I think you can still use scatterGL, and calculate symbolSize to match the unit size.

In the meantime, we may provide a large mode like the scatter series in the heatmap. Or add a new heatmapGL

@pissang Hi, What I would like to have is to be able to draw rectangular elements using the axes unit size on the value type axes. Heatmap or even heatmapGL does not seem to support that. At this moment, the only series that fulfills this requirement is the custom series but it does not behave well with my large dataset.
I've tried to use scatterGL and calculated symbolSize (using convertFromPixel api) as you mentioned but there were lots of other issues popped up. Do you have any suggestions for a proper way of doing the calculation for symbolSize?
