I thought it would be fun to build a program that generates visual maps for R. A. Lafferty’s fiction and nonfiction. After a fair bit of trial and error, I now have a version of the code that does part of what I originally had in mind.
As I create these story maps, I’ll be sharing them, most likely in unedited form for now, in the hope that others will find them helpful.
You can interact with the story map by moving the nodes.

The connection lines between nodes are adjustable and display relationship details.

Clicking on the nodes themselves gives you details about the characters and their relationships to other characters.

The Elliptical Grave. (Thanks, Dan!)
