This is perhaps my favourite version of the pi visuals I made purely because it actually uses pi in calculating how many dots will fit on each ring of the graphic.

Just looked at this again. I really like it.
I see from your code that your sample circle has a total of 95 concentric rings, enough to completely fill the default 1000 x 1000 page size. But how many dots (equals digits of pi) does it have? I used a lookup to find the answer:
28, 607
Since your csv file contains 100, 000 digits, you could make this circle significantly bigger if you wanted (say, for printing to a billboard somewhere). But 28 thousand is pretty impressive as is.
