Abstract
Let be a finite set of points in the plane and let be the set of intersection points between pairs of lines passing through any two points in . We characterize all configurations of points such that iteration of the above operation produces a dense set. We also discuss partial results on the characterization of those finite point-sets with rational coordinates that generate all of through iteration of .
