[ascl:2603.003] SpiralMap: Milky Way spiral arm models and visualization tools
SpiralMap provides a Python library of major Milky Way spiral arm models and maps compiled from the literature. It gives access to multiple independent spiral arm models, and extracts the trace of individual arms or all arms from a selected model. The library overplots spiral arms directly onto user-supplied figures in Cartesian or polar coordinates and in either heliocentric or Galactocentric reference frames.
