Figure 2

Comparison of the original, full coverage, Chaos Game Representation (left panel) for nucleotide sequences, which uses a dividing ratio of 1/2, with the sparser implementation suggested by [27], described in Equation 1 (right panel), which corresponds to a dividing ratio of 0.586. The vertices of the square correspond to the 4 nucleotides and the filling was generated by a 10,000 uniformly random synthetic sequence. The circles in the right panel enclose the polygons, to illustrate the property that there is no overlapping at that scale not only for the data points but also between the inclosing circles.
