+1 for me too. Otherwise very confusing.

OK, I think I get it now. After you’ve hit 4 SDs (or even arguably 3 SDs!)
the contribution of more points to that square fades to almost nothing
without extreme clusters of points.Right.
Seems like this ought to be clarified in the UI and documentation? Should I
file an enhancement request?I would rather have the option ‘stddeviation’ renamed to ‘radius’,
kernel radius in map units, which it actually is currently for all
kernels but gaussian, and internally adjust standard deviation instead
of radius for the gaussian kernel. I guess that the kernel radius is
of more importance to users than the standard deviation. Makes sense?+1
