Description

Relevant for 100k+ observations

Points: Datashader and friends

Lines: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2512.16017

Maybe this isn't for Hephaestus to do as it is basically a stats operation which is generally not hephaestus' job

Research direction

Start by reading the linked arXiv paper and reviewing how density-based rendering relates to Datashader for 100k+ observations. No files, tests, or entry points are identified, so first determine whether this belongs in Hephaestus or should remain a statistics-layer responsibility. Done means a clearly agreed scope and implementation direction.
