We have developed a simple scheme to visualize the string composition of long DNA sequences and applied it to all available prokaryote complete genomes. Each species has a specific "portrait" and most clearly seen patterns in these portraits are determined by short avoided and under-represented strings. The "spatial" patterns in the space of short strings might reflect some "temporal" events in the evolutionary history.
