Dot plots are most likely the oldest visual representation used to compare two sequences see maizel and lenk 1981 and references therein. It is the procedure by which one attempts to infer which positions sites within sequences. In its simplest form, a dot is produced at position i,j iff character number i in the first sequence is the same as character number j in the second sequence.
