Contains 8000 2-d points, with 6 "natural" looking shapes, all of which have
an sinusoid-like shape that intersects with each cluster.
The data set was originally used as a benchmark data set for the Chameleon clustering
algorithm (Karypis, Han and Kumar, 1999) to
illustrate the a data set containing arbitrarily shaped
spatial data surrounded by both noise and artifacts.
Arguments
