The map-enabled data exploration tool *mapdata.py* (https://pypi.org/project/mapdata/) will now produce a Lorenz curve for any numeric variable, optionally segregated by any categorical variable.

This project generates a mosaic of Messier or Caldwell objects, using images from a local folder.
The script arranges the objects into a configurable grid, supports larger slots for extended targets (e.g. Andromeda), and overlays labels and a title.
Perfect for creating a large-format print.
Features:
+ Loads Messier or Caldwell object images from a folder (M31.jpg, M-31.png, M_31.tif, etc.)
+ Places objects on a grid with configurable layout
+ Supports multi-cell slots for large objects (e.g. M31, M42, M45)
+ Supports grouping multiple objects in one slot for objects close to each other (e.g. M42 and M43, M31 and M32)
+ Adds a title and progress counter if it's not completed yet
+ Draws labels on images and placeholders for missing ones
+ Adjustable size of the final image
+ Saves as JPEG, PNG or TIFF

I did some plotting for the WriteYourOwnFairytale anthology (not the real name of the book) I will be part of this September. The story is based on roll of Story Die and I got these prompts work with:
Monster, Girl in a Cloak, and Tower.
I will follow traditional fairytale formats so something will be learned, there will be magic, but I will add there a twist or two to keep it interesting. (:

20 Plotting Methods Every Fiction Writer Should KnowTwenty story structure frameworksâfrom Aristotle's three acts to KishĆtenketsuâexplained, compared, and demonstrated through speculative fiction case studies. The essential guide to plotting your novel.
What do people use / recommend for plotting *publication quality* plots of mathematical functions.
Not plotting data, plotting functions.

In opensource, matplotlib is huge, but it is fundamentally plotting data points, and plotting functions means creating domain data points and calculating their mapping, and plotting that. Unsatisfactory imo.
Similarly for the other tool, ggplot2 in R, it is designed for data.
In proprietary software, Mathematica is also huge, but imho their plots have always look janky and not publication quality.
What I haven't explored is "latex packages" which purport to do function plotting. I'd be surprised if they did fancy things like not crashing at singularities. Is this what authors use for polished publications?

Attached image is mathics3, an open source implementation of the Mathematica language. Looks fine for blogs, but not for a book typeset in the style of the classic Springer texts imho,

Start with a single question. Whatâs the private rule this character lives by? âDonât disappoint anyone,â âStay in control,â or âNever show weakness.â Look for the moments that challenge it. Those moments create tension, conflict. and change.
