NAME

Math::PlanePath::CincoCurve -- 5x5 self-similar curve

SYNOPSIS


            

              
              
use Math::PlanePath::CincoCurve;
my $path = Math::PlanePath::CincoCurve->new;
my ($x, $y) = $path->n_to_xy (123);

DESCRIPTION

This is the 5x5 self-similar Cinco curve

It makes a 5x5 self-similar traversal of the first quadrant X>0,Y>0.

The base pattern is the N=0 to N=24 part. It repeats transposed and rotated to make the ends join. N=25 to N=49 is a repeat of the base, then N=50 to N=74 is a transpose to go upwards. The sub-part arrangements are as follows.

Parts such as 6 going left are the base rotated 180 degrees. The verticals like 2 are a transpose of the base, ie. swap X,Y, and downward vertical like 23 is transpose plus rotate 180 (which is equivalent to a mirror across the anti-diagonal). Notice the base shape fills its sub-part to the left side and the transpose instead fills on the right.

The N values along the X axis are increasing, as are the values along the Y axis. This occurs because the values along the sub-parts of the base are increasing along the X and Y axes, and the other two sides are increasing too when rotated or transposed for sub-parts such as 2 and 23, or 7, 8 and 9.

Dennis conceives this for use in combination with 2x2 Hilbert and 3x3 meander shapes so that sizes which are products of 2, 3 and 5 can be used for partitioning. Such mixed patterns can't be done with the code here, mainly since a mixture depends on having a top-level target size rather than the unlimited first quadrant here.

FUNCTIONS

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for behaviour common to all path classes.

$path = Math::PlanePath::CincoCurve->new ()

Create and return a new path object.

($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)

Return the X,Y coordinates of point number $n on the path. Points begin at 0 and if $n < 0 then the return is an empty list.

Level Methods

($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->level_to_n_range($level)

Return (0, 25**$level - 1).
