Scatter¶
Points of a sunflower spiral drawn as filled markers, each coloured by the value of the Julia field at its position and sized by its distance from the centre.
The figure above is live, drawn in the browser by the same engine that draws the viewer: drag it to pan, and click it to zoom with the wheel. Download the PDF for the vector figure that IronLAB exports, or read how to embed a figure of your own.

The figure is built by the following code. Its data comes from the functions on the data helpers page.
