When you use Pi to create art, these are the types of incredible images you might get.

First, this:
“It’s fitting to use Circos to visualize the digits of π. After all, what is more round than Circos? By mapping the digits onto a red-yellow-blue Brewer palette (0 9) and placing them as circles on an Archimedean spiral a dense and pleasant layout can be obtained.”
And this is what you get with 3422, 13,689, and 123,201 digits.

Pretty, I think. The problem is, I don’t have a reference. It would be really helpful to see 1/3, 1/7, 22/7,…other terminating and repeating fractions. Then I’d better appreciate, I suspect, that when I squint, the big pi display looks gray – all colours/digits with no pattern.
