It just so happens I have a website that takes such a file and spits out an image of what those digits would look like if you assigned a colour to every number from 0 – 9. I figured that 200 billion was a little much, but the site I got them from splits them into chunks of 100 million. Previously I only used 4 million digits, this is due to the fact I once calculated them using my computer and then stuck them up on my website for the world..

So what I have done is modified my script to be able to seek through the digits, and show you a picture starting from anywhere in the first 100 million digits. It did not take a lot of extra work, and I think the result is quite pleasing. I am actually considering doing the same for ln, phi, and some other interesting constants.

Yes, this is truly nerdy stuff.

I also added a download link for the Pi Picture script that was available for download previously only from the picture page itself.
