I asked somewhere here about the algorithm for the position of the dots and got an answer (can I link directly to a post?) below. Putting things on a circle sounds like a good way to do it but it sort of precludes special arrangement for specific numbers. Not that it could not be done but what would the algorithm look like? Edit: I looked more at the animation some more and maybe I am wrong. Anyway I may try to make one.

In what is surely not a coincidence, 2012 is also the year in which a Stack Exchange question about how to generate these beautiful diagrams in Mathematica came up: https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/11657/factorisation-diagrams https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/11657/factor... I wrote an answer there that produced these diagrams from fairly few lines of code. The question there referred to same now-broken link mentioned above so the origin still unknown.
