The colours are (in some sense) deterministic.  The tiles are plotted in 
the order in which the points appear in the data set.  The fillcol 
vector is "recycled" to give a vector of length equal to the number of 
points.  Thus the tile corresponding to (x[1],y[1]) gets coloured with 
the colour given by ccc[1].  The tile corresponding to (x[2],y[2]) gets 
coloured with the colour given by ccc[2].  The tile corresponding to 
(x[3],y[3]) gets coloured with the colour given by ccc[1] again.  The 
tile corresponding to (x[4],y[4]) gets coloured with the colour given by 
ccc[2] again.  And so on.
