Description

For waveform view especially, it would be really helpful to show a the spike waveforms as a 2-d histogram of all the waveforms. Probably with counts on a log scale. With only picking 100 waveforms it can be easy to miss seeing that a subset of the events don't belong to the cluster.

Research direction

Start by locating the waveform view entry point and reading how the current waveform sample is displayed. Clarify the desired density-toggle interaction and histogram behavior with maintainers before implementing it. Done should provide a 2-D histogram of waveform data with counts shown on a log scale.
