Representing the First 4,000,000 Decimals of Pi in a Single Image
From the post:
The online visualization titled “3.1415926535897932384626…” [two-n.com] by design studio TWO-N represents the first 4,000,000 decimals of the number Pi within a single image.
Each unique digit of Pi corresponds to a specific color, and is rendered as a 1×1 pixel dot. The result is a long, random-looking pixel carpet image. Next to a dedicated slider that allows up/down scrolling through the resulting image, one can also search for the first occurrences of any specific decimal combination.
A tribute to the art of visualization!
The browse for up to six (6) digit strings is addictive! Be careful!
How would you search for unique six (6) digit strings in the first 4,000,000 decimals of the number Pi?
Or you would use it as a bar bet on unique occurrences. (I know one but I am saving that to win a cup of coffee off of Lars.)
