Generating the graphical image

The hardest part of the design was generating the graphical image. I chose a 7-segment LED style because I figured it would be the easiest to generate. A plain 7-segment representation, where each segment was a rectangle, proved to be too simple; I made the segments with a diagonal corner so they'd fit together better.
