Similar to the previous, this form of mapping included the relationship between the song order as shown through the continuous line in the center. Also, instead of showing the frequency of listening through the thickness of a line, this chart accents the actual band name with a larger font and darker opacity.

Musical Listening History v.1
An algorithmically generated visuallization based on statistical information provided by Last.fm software, more particular, every song listened to by a particular user over an 18 month period.
Each colored band represents a musical artist, progressing from left to right. The span of progression gets wider when listening is more frequent and skinnier when less. The hue of the artist is representing the time of the first listen by that user. Cooler colors are those who were listened to over a long period of time while warmer colors are more recently added.
Java Color Tool
The 'color tool' is designed to provide designers with views of the perceptual relationships among possible color choices. This helps in the management of symbol and background colors in their relationships through hue and saturation. Luminosity of the background is also a great advantage of this software since it allows the designer to directly view their affects without needless application.
Colored .pdb File
Primarily - this method is used to compile and compare medical and chemical research data in order to obtain a visual standard for comparison. Numbered information/results are fed into the programming as a simple statistic - then an algorythm creates a 2d/3d resultant (depending on what is desired). Although this form of visual effect is primarily in these field, there could be more applications in the near future.
