Dense Sensor Readings — Hexbin Plot Example
When a scatter plot turns into a solid blob, hexagonal binning recovers the density information that overplotting destroyed.

What this example shows
- The darkest hexagons trace a clear positive band — temperature and pressure rise together in this dataset.
- Density is highest in the middle of the range, where the sensor spent most of its time.
- The same 40 points as a scatter plot would already show overlap. At a few thousand points, hexbin becomes the only readable option.
