Great work. Did you coin "Joy Map" or is that already a thing?

I'm assuming its a reference to Joy Division's iconic Unknown Pleasures cover [0] by Peter Saville?

>the image is a reinterpretation of the image of radio waves from the first discovered pulsar. The original was illustrated by Cornell grad student Harold Craft in his 1970 PhD thesis and subsequently published in the Cambridge Encyclopeadia of Astronomy. [0]

Pretty cool that the album was inspired by the visual representation of the first discovered pulsar!

Apologizes if your link already says that. I cannot open it due to work filters I think :/

It's a thing, though it seems to have an successor in "ridge plot": https://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/2017/07/joyplots.html
Hi! Awesome project, I love it! What license is this under? Would you consider explicitly adding a license file to the repo?
