Arguments

x	a variable with not too many unique values
rows	defaults to the rounded up square root of the number of values
cols	defaults to the rounded down square root of the number of values

This function allows and requires the least tinkering, but also does not drop shadows. To avoid the Hermann grid illusion, don't use dark colours.
