Visualization
This is a spottily-updated list of miscellaneous resources I’ve come across dealing with data visualization in several forms.(...)

Every plot runs on an emotional pattern that sits underneath the events on the page. You can change the setting, the pace, the structure, or the cast, but the emotional pattern stays the same.

@tpfto what a great concise paper! I first encountered figures like these under the name “mystery curve”in a post by @walkingrandomly (Mike Croucher):

It inspired me to write my own example with my interactive JavaScript library:

Should probably do an update to include amplitudes as part of the input. And for people without access to paywalled gardens here’s an open link:

Fairytale now has officially a proper plot. I did its chapter plan, and it will act as the "first draft" due to how much detail I always shove in. :P
When you have super vivid dream with full plot attached to it and proceed to write plot for 2 books you probably never write because you don't have the time. The ideas had to come out though since I already "lived" them though...
That psycho hand puppet would've made great 2 book series though. Funny too (in my opinion).
My idea graveyard just keeps growing....
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. (:
