A visualization that turns the digits of the number π into a visual presentation. Each digit is converted into a certain direction to step. With 360 degrees of a circle, divided into 10 step directions. You can follow the path that the digits make and how this is always random, no matter if you look at 100, 1000, or even a million digits.
My idea certainly isn’t new, but most versions I could find had first converted pi into another base (4 or 16 for example), so I went ahead with just keeping it in base 10.
I plotted and colored the data in R and then imported the PDF into Illustrator to add text and legends. For more than 1000 digits I found that it was more interesting to color the lines according to how far from the beginning the line is, so you can understand how pi walked from start to finish.
