Each point of the horizontal axis displays a prime number P (from P=2 -left- to P=28657 -right-). The length of each vertical segment is proportional to the difference D between the related prime number P and its right neighbour (the first prime number greater than P). The so-called twin prime numbers are couples {P,P+2} (D=2).
