The paper is at [1], and the summary chart is at [2].
The top chart shows which of the three bodies escapes the system given initial starting conditions. The bottom one makes it easier to see patterns by reducing noise. It uses the k-nearest-neighbors algorithm to find the dominant color near each pixel. More than the large pools of stability, what's interesting are the bands of stability - like electromagnetic fields.
I have no idea how one codes this up in a computer, with fixed precision math and all. Numerical methods is a black box for me.
