Boy does that freak out with 200+ labels. :) Looks fun, though.

Some wonderfully modern art. I think I'll tweet it :)

It actually does look like a piece of art in the Mathematics Department at the University of Warwick: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Maths_fo...

It doesn't, it looks great! You try labelling 200 points right next to each other.

As an exercise, set it to 200 points, wait for it to generate (will take a while), pick a point and find its label visually. It's surprisingly easy. I was able to do it.

Of course, the difference is, this isn't a physical ribbon cable you're breaking out - online, you should just be able to hover over the point and have the label pop right up! :-D
