The clustering property is examined by computing the $L$ function familiar in the field of spatial ecology. The case of a positive value of $L$ corresponds to the state of clustering and the Onsager's negative temperature.2 pages, 7 figures, submitted for the ICIAM07 proceedingsFluid DynamicsClustering of point vortices in a periodic boxtext
