Visualizing Sorting Algorithms in 2D Space

In each image below, we start with a row of unsorted pixels at the top, and then watch as a sorting algorithm progressively sorts the pixels, eventually arriving at a fully sorted row at the bottom.
These were inspired by some delightful animated sorting algorithm visualizations that surfaced on the web recently: 1, 2
The source code used to generate the visualizations seen in this post is available on GitHub. Thanks to franciscouzo for open sourcing his sort visualization tool that was forked & modified to generate these.
