I agree that it seems challenging, but I think if it's done right it could be fairly transparent and robust.
I wrote some code to display the number of factors of each number from 1..N. It uses a graphic and draws a single-pixel-width vertical bar for each number. It creates a new graphic for each hundred numbers (they start to become unwieldy when you try to set more than a thousand points or so). All of that works, but if I'm trying to do 1..50,000, or even 1.. a few million. That makes the group with the set of graphics I'm creating up to millions of pixels wide. Insane, I know, but the recent progress on the twin prime conjecture has me excited and curious.
