You were silent for too long Ewart  ;)  Welcome back!

Brian, the "critical line" is used in the context of the Riemann
hypothesis; see [0].

One way to get some insight into the behavior of complex functions is via
domain coloring; see [1] and the first couple of graphs on the page [2].
One can produce this kind of graphs using J thanks to Andrew Nikitin; see
[3]; for example, try,

viewrgb 8 ccEnhPh (zetahat"0) 20 * sq 256

(where zetahat is from Ewart's script and the rest from Andrew's script)
and compare to the two graphs mentioned above; see [2].
