Shakespeare experts may enjoy trying to guess the play from its "signature" above. If that proves too difficult, they may enjoy, knowing a play, guessing which sequence of points represents each character. Note for example that while one "purple" character in Hamlet has a lot of lines, that character does not quite make it to the end of the play.

A correction has been made to the electronic version of Othello, substituting in the presumably intended "Second Gentleman" for "Second Gentlemen."

The code underlying this Demonstration could easily be modified so that the tooltip for each point not only displayed the name of the character, but also what they were saying.
