A package that generates tile grid maps for illustrating features of East Caucasian languages. The plots are created using plotnine library, providing a ggplot2-like interface in Python.
This software was created as a part of the project of the Linguistic Convergence laboratory. There is also an R package that shares the same functionality (see RCaucTile) by George Moroz.
