[edit] Summary

Created by Derrick Coetzee in Adobe Illustrator, who releases all rights to this work.

It shows the in-place partition algorithm described at en:quicksort in action on a small list. The boxed element is the pivot element, blue elements are less or equal, and red elements are larger. The one thing this doesn't demonstrate that I wish it did is that sometimes two blue elements can be exchanged.
