Description

See https://discourse.julialang.org/t/combining-continuousspace-with-discrete-grid-property-in-interactivedynamics/93684/5

The best way forwards I think is to make a Pull Request at InteractiveDynamics.jl that allows this heatmap out of the box. Makie.jl supports a heatmap with arbitrary coordinates. So first one makes the coordinates, nbinx, nbiny = size(property) . Then coordx = range(0, 1; length = nbinx) and same for y . Then, heatmap!(ax, coordx, coordy, property; ...) . Shouldn't be too hard.

Research direction
The issue suggests implementing a heatmap in InteractiveDynamics.jl using Makie's heatmap function with coordinates derived from the property array dimensions. The research should examine existing plotting code in InteractiveDynamics.jl, particularly how spatial properties are visualized for ContinuousSpace. The discourse link in the issue provides additional context. The solution is outlined but requires implementing the coordinate generation and heatmap call in the appropriate module.
