nested_sequence_display

nested_sequence_display, an Octave code which displays a set of sequences, as lines of X values, stacked up in the Y direction. For cases where sequences share a value, a red vertical line is drawn to highlight this.

The purpose of the plot is to emphasize the structure of a nested sequence, although it is not actually necessary for the sequences to be related in any way.

The kind of plot we are thinking of though, might look something like this:

    Sequence 4: 1    3 4  5  6     8
                |    |    |        |
    Sequence 3: 1 2  |    5     7  |
                |    |          |  |
    Sequence 2: 1    3          7  |
                |               |  |
    Sequence 1: 1               7  8
      

For example, the program could be used to show the nesting of the family of Clenshaw Curtis points, when choosing orders 1, 3, 5, 9, 17, 33, 65, ...
