These show relationships between temperaments, with a line drawn between them if the bilinear form on 7-limit linear temperaments is zero. This means the temperaments have a common comma.

Cool. These could come in handy for "transferring" (I think
that was Ivor's term) tunings mid-piece. Have you considered:

() Labeling the lines by their commas?
(Wait, I suppose the Paul's dualzoom thing already shows this...)

() Making the lines longer in temp3da?

no, that thing is only 5-limit.

Did you see temp3db?

I missed it; it needs longer lines too. :)
