-    The Qsphere allows a visualization of the states of many qubits. As the  
-    number of qubits visualized grows, it can be cumbersome to interpret the
-    rendered image without a description of the basis states. This update 
-    incorporates a feature that displays the basis states by default, and allows
-    phases to be displayed in degrees when desired.
