53 The replication means that the values on the X axis are those using
55 only digits 0,1,5 in base 9. Those to the right have a high 1 digit
56 and those to the left a high 5 digit. These digits are the values in
57 the initial N=0 to N=8 figure which fall on the X axis.
58 Similarly on the Y axis digits 0,3,7 in base 9, or the leading diagonal
60 X=Y 0,2,6 and opposite diagonal 0,4,8. The opposite diagonal digits
61 0,4,8 are 00,11,22 in base 3, so is all the values in base 3 with
62 doubled digits aabbccdd, etc.
63 Level Ranges
65 A given replication extends to
66 Nlevel = 9^level - 1
68 - (3^level - 1) <= X <= (3^level - 1)
69 - (3^level - 1) <= Y <= (3^level - 1)
70 Complex Base
72 This pattern corresponds to expressing a complex integer X+i*Y with
73 axis powers of base b=3,
74 X+Yi = a[n]*b^n + ... + a[2]*b^2 + a[1]*b + a[0]
76 using complex digits a[i] encoded in N in integer base 9,

90 Numbering Rotate-4
92 Parameter "numbering_type => 'rotate-4'" applies a rotation to 4
93 directions E,N,W,S for each sub-part according to its position around
94 the preceding level.

127 Parts 10-18 and 20-28 are the same as the middle 0-8. Parts 30-38 and
129 40-48 have a rotation by +90 degrees. Parts 50-58 and 60-68 rotation
130 by +180 degrees, and so on.
131 Notice this means in each part the base-9 points 11, 21, 31, points are
133 directed away from the middle in the same way, relative to the sub-part
134 locations. This gives a reasonably simple way to characterize points
135 on the boundary of a given expansion level.
136 Working through the directions and boundary sides gives a state machine
138 for which unit squares are on the boundary. For level >= 1 a given
139 unit square has one of both of two sides on the boundary.

146 +-----+
147 A further low base-9 digit expands the square to a block of 9, with
149 squares then boundary or not. The result is 4 states, which can be
150 expressed by pairs of digits
151 write N in base-9 using level many digits,
153 delete all 2s in 2nd or later digit
154 non-boundary =
155 0 anywhere
156 5 or 6 or 7 in 2nd or later digit
157 pair 13,33,53,73, 14,34,54,74 anywhere
158 pair 43,44, 81,88 at 2nd or later digit
159 Pairs 53,73,54,74 can be checked just at the start of the digits, since
161 5 or 7 anywhere later are non-boundary alone irrespective of what (if
162 any) pair they might make.
163 Numbering Rotate 8
165 Parameter "numbering_type => 'rotate-8'" applies a rotation to 8
166 directions for each sub-part according to its position around the
167 preceding level.

200 Notice this means in each part the 11, 21, 31, etc, points are directed
202 away from the middle in the same way, relative to the sub-part
203 locations.

206 See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for behaviour common to all path
207 classes.
208 "$path = Math::PlanePath::SquareReplicate->new ()"
210 Create and return a new path object.
211 "($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)"
213 Return the X,Y coordinates of point number $n on the path. Points
214 begin at 0 and if "$n < 0" then the return is an empty list.
215 Level Methods
217 "($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->level_to_n_range($level)"
218 Return "(0, 9**$level - 1)".
