#Stata #joyplot v1.71 is now out which fixes a major bug where a bad local was resulting in a program crash under specific conditions.

Note that "joyplot" is also mirrored as "ridgeline" and both can be used interchangeably.

You know there's a package for that! github.com/leotac/joypy
(one of my grad students uses it in her upcoming paper)

Yes, joyplots are named after the album cover. Some people call them ridgeline plots.

I, like a bunch of data people, know the dark history because the when the library for creating ridgeline plots was developed, it was originally called joyplots in reference to the album cover, but was quickly renamed Ridgeline plots when the context was explained.

Joyplots have been around for like a decade or so, well longer but the name has been around that long. The name comes from a Joy Division album cover. They are formally called ridgeline plots, due in part to the historical meaning of the term joy division (Women compelled by Nazis into sex service).

Pensando en lo accidentado y desafortunado que a estas gráficas se les conozca como "joyplots" por el disco de Joy Division, quienes a su vez tomaron su nombre de una sección de los campos de concentración Nazis

Your comment made me curious about Ridgeline Plotts & how/if I could use them for anything, & at the mention of a python libraries historical self-reference regarding what it returns i chortled

They use ML to catalogue and characterize the steaks from ExoMars CaSSIS and MRO HiRISE and then attempt to link them to other dust activity, shown in this figure.
(I put the caption in the alt text. The density curves on the bottom are called Joyplots 😊)

They were originally called Joyplots for that reason, but the name was changed when they found out where the band got their name from

Thanks @fishR_ogle for the lovely bit of code to make joyplots of our salmon lengths in #BurrishooleLTER over the last deacade
