A mathematical utility to calculate an Ulam spiral.

Anyone who loves to the world of mathematics knows that in 1963, the mathematician Stanislaw Ulam showed that the graphical representation of primes follows a pattern, starting from 1 in the centre, and following this spiraling around the first number. The result is that all primes tend to align in diagonal lines.

This Prime Number Spiral will help you better understand the Ulam spiral, and you'll generate a drawing with all the prime numbers that you specify (for example, from 1 to 100) so you can check with your own eyes how the plot follows that pattern. It's a utility designed especially for children.

In addition, Prime Number Spiral allows the user to customize the graph by choosing different colours, sizes and fonts.
