NAME

Math::PlanePath::Columns -- points in fixed-height columns

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

This path is columns of a given fixed height. For example height 5 would be

     |
  4  |   5  10  15  20    --->   height==5
  3  |   4   9  14  19
  2  |   3   8  13  18
  1  |   2   7  12  17  ...
y=0  |   1   6  11  16  21 
      ----------------------
       x=0   1   2   3   4  ...

FUNCTIONS

$path = Math::PlanePath::Columns->new (height => $h)

Create and return a new path object. A height parameter must be supplied.

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

Return the x,y coordinates of point number $n in the path.

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

Return the point number for coordinates $x,$y.

$x and $y are rounded to the nearest integers, which has the effect of treating each point in the path as a square of side 1, so a rectangle $x >= -0.5 and -0.5 <= y < height+0.5 is covered.
