For N=odd*2^k the coordinates are X=k, Y=(odd-1)/2. The X coordinate is how many factors of 2 can be divided out. The Y coordinate counts odd integers 1,3,5,7,etc as 0,1,2,3,etc. This is clearer by writing N values in binary,

Radix

The radix parameter can do the same dividing out in a higher base. For example radix 3 divides out factors of 3,

N=1,3,9,27,etc on the X axis is the powers of 3.

N=1,2,4,5,7,etc on the Y axis is the integers N=1or2 mod 3, ie. those not a multiple of 3. Notice if Y=1or2 mod 4 then the N values in that row are all even, or if Y=0or3 mod 4 then the N values are all odd.

Boundary Length

The points N=1 to N=2^k-1 inclusive have a boundary length

boundary = 2^k + 2k

For example N=1 to N=7 is

+---+
| 7 |
+   +
| 5 |
+   +---+
| 3   6 |
+       +---+
| 1   2   4 |
+---+---+---+

The height is the odd numbers, so 2^(k-1). The width is the power k. So total boundary 2*height+2*width = 2^k + 2k.

If N=2^k is included then it's on the X axis and so add 2, for boundary = 2^k + 2k + 2.

For other radix the calculation is similar

boundary = 2 * (radix-1) * radix^(k-1) + 2*k

For example radix=3, N=1 to N=8 is

8 
7 
5 
4 
2  6
1  3

The height is the non-multiples of the radix, so (radix-1)/radix * radix^k. The width is the power k again. So total boundary = 2*height+2*width.

FUNCTIONS

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

$path = Math::PlanePath::PowerArray->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 1 and if $n < 0 then the return is an empty list.

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

Return the N point number at coordinates $x,$y. If $x<0 or $y<0 then there's no N and the return is undef.

N values grow rapidly with $x. Pass in a number type such as Math::BigInt to preserve precision.

($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->rect_to_n_range ($x1,$y1, $x2,$y2)

The returned range is exact, meaning $n_lo and $n_hi are the smallest and biggest in the rectangle.

FORMULAS

Rectangle to N Range

Within each row increasing X is increasing N, and in each column increasing Y is increasing N. So in a rectangle the lower left corner is the minimum N and the upper right is the maximum N.

|               N max
|     ----------+
|    |  ^       |
|    |  |       |
|    |   ---->  |
|    +----------
|   N min
+-------------------

N to Turn Left or Right

The turn left or right is given by

radix = 2     left at N==0 mod radix and N==1mod4, right otherwise

radix >= 3    left at N==0 mod radix
              right at N=1 or radix-1 mod radix
              straight otherwise

The points N!=0 mod radix are on the Y axis and those N==0 mod radix are off the axis. For that reason the turn at N==0 mod radix is to the left,

|
C--
   ---
A--__ --        point B is N=0 mod radix,
|    --- B      turn left A-B-C is left

For radix>=3 the turns at A and C are to the right, since the point before A and after C is also on the Y axis. For radix>=4 there's of run of points on the Y axis which are straight.

For radix=2 the "B" case N=0 mod 2 applies, but for the A,C points in between the turn alternates left or right.

1--     N=1 mod 4             3--      N=3 mod 4
 \ --   turn left              \ --    turn right
  \  --                         \  --
   2   --                        2   --
         --                            --
           --                            --
             0                             4

Points N=2 mod 4 are X=1 and Y=N/2 whereas N=0 mod 4 has 2 or more trailing 0 bits so X>1 and Y<N/2.

N mod 4      turn
-------     ------
   0        left         for radix=2
   1         left
   2        left
   3         right
