The zeroes (crosses) of the orthogonal polynomials - up to degree 54 - in the plane for a measure with a repulsive charge at z=1. The bean-shaped region is the support of the asymptotic equilibrium distribution and the line extending between the two apices is the skeleton (mother-body) of the domain. The gro wth of this region follows the Laplacian-growth evolution, the area increasing linearly in time.
