14 This path is a "DDUU" turn pattern similar in nature to the terdragon
15 but on a square grid and with 5 segments instead of 3.

50 Like the terdragon there are no reversals or mirroring. Each
52 replication is the plain base curve.

68 The curve never crosses itself. The vertices touch at corners like N=4
70 and N=8 above, but no edges repeat.
71 Spiralling
73 The first step N=1 is to the right along the X axis and the path then
74 slowly spirals anti-clockwise and progressively fatter. The end of
75 each replication is
76 Nlevel = 5^level
78 Each such point is at arctan(2/1)=63.43 degrees further around from the
80 previous,

88 Arms
90 The curve fills a quarter of the plane and four copies mesh together
91 perfectly rotated by 90, 180 and 270 degrees. The "arms" parameter can
92 choose 1 to 4 such curve arms successively advancing.
93 "arms => 4" begins as follows. N=0,4,8,12,16,etc is the first arm (the
95 same shape as the plain curve above), then N=1,5,9,13,17 the second,
96 N=2,6,10,14 the third, etc.

108 With four arms every X,Y point is visited twice, except the origin 0,0
110 where all four begin. Every edge between the points is traversed once.
111 Tiling
113 The little "S" shapes of the N=0to5 base shape tile the plane with 2x1
114 bricks and 1x1 holes in the following pattern,
115 +--+-----| |--+--+-----| |--+--+---

137 This is the curve with each segment N=2mod5 to N=3mod5 omitted. A 2x1
139 block has 6 edges but the "S" traverses just 4 of them. The way the
140 blocks mesh meshes together mean the other 2 edges are traversed by
141 another brick, possibly a brick on another arm of the curve.
142 This tiling is also found for example at
144 <http://tilingsearch.org/HTML/data182/AL04.html>

151 See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for behaviour common to all path
152 classes.
153 "$path = Math::PlanePath::R5DragonCurve->new ()"
155 "$path = Math::PlanePath::R5DragonCurve->new (arms => 4)"
156 Create and return a new path object.
157 The optional "arms" parameter can make 1 to 4 copies of the curve,
159 each arm successively advancing.
160 "($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)"
162 Return the X,Y coordinates of point number $n on the path. Points
163 begin at 0 and if "$n < 0" then the return is an empty list.
164 Fractional $n gives an X,Y position along a straight line between
166 the integer positions.
167 "$n = $path->xy_to_n ($x,$y)"
169 Return the point number for coordinates "$x,$y". If there's
170 nothing at "$x,$y" then return "undef".
171 The curve can visit an "$x,$y" twice. The smallest of the these N
173 values is returned.
174 "@n_list = $path->xy_to_n_list ($x,$y)"
176 Return a list of N point numbers for coordinates "$x,$y".
177 The origin 0,0 has "arms_count()" many N since it's the starting
179 point for each arm. Other points have up to two Ns for a given
180 "$x,$y". If arms=4 then every "$x,$y" except the origin has
181 exactly two Ns.
182 "$n = $path->n_start()"
184 Return 0, the first N in the path.
185 Level Methods
187 "($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->level_to_n_range($level)"
188 Return "(0, 5**$level)", or for multiple arms return "(0, $arms *
189 5**$level + ($arms-1))".
190 There are 5^level segments in a curve level, so 5^level+1 points
192 numbered from 0. For multiple arms there are arms*(5^level+1)
193 points, numbered from 0 so n_hi = arms*(5^level+1)-1.

196 Various formulas for boundary length, area, and more, can be found in
197 the author's mathematical write-up
198 <http://user42.tuxfamily.org/r5dragon/index.html>
200 Turn
202 At each point N the curve always turns 90 degrees either to the left or
203 right, it never goes straight ahead. As per the code in Jorg Arndt's
204 fxtbook, if N is written in base 5 then the lowest non-zero digit gives
205 the turn
206 lowest non-0 digit turn
208 ------------------ ----
209 1 left
210 2 left
211 3 right
212 4 right
213 At a point N=digit*5^level for digit=1,2,3,4 the turn follows the shape
215 at that digit, so two lefts then two rights,
216 4*5^k----5^(k+1)
218 |
219 |
220 2*5^k----2*5^k
221 |
222 |
223 0------1*5^k
224 The first and last unit segments in each level are the same direction,
226 so at those endpoints it's the next level up which gives the turn.
227 Next Turn
229 The turn at N+1 can be calculated in a similar way but from the lowest
230 non-4 digit.
231 lowest non-4 digit turn
233 ------------------ ----
234 0 left
235 1 left
236 2 right
237 3 right
238 This works simply because in N=...z444 becomes N+1=...(z+1)000 and so
240 the turn at N+1 is given by digit z+1.
241 Total Turn
243 The direction at N, ie. the total cumulative turn, is given by the
244 direction of each digit when N is written in base 5,
245 digit direction
247 0 0
248 1 1
249 2 2
250 3 1
251 4 0
252 direction = (sum direction for each digit) * 90 degrees
254 For example N=13 in base 5 is "23" so digit=2 direction=2 plus digit=3
256 direction=1 gives direction=(2+1)*90 = 270 degrees, ie. south.
257 Because there's no reversals etc in the replications there's no state
259 to maintain when considering the digits, just a plain sum of direction
260 for each digit.
