48 The repeating part is the N=59 to N=189 style groups of 4 circuits
50 going back and forward.
51 The gaps between the path are the labyrinth walls. Notice at
53 N=2,59,33,186 the "+" joining of those walls which is characteristic of
54 this style labyrinth.

74 See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for behaviour common to all path
75 classes.
76 "$path = Math::PlanePath::CretanLabyrinth->new ()"
78 Create and return a new path object.
79 "($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)"
81 Return the X,Y coordinates of point number $n on the path. Points
82 begin at 0 and if "$n < 0" then the return is an empty list.
83 Fractional positions give an X,Y position along a straight line
85 between the integer positions.
86 "$n = $path->xy_to_n ($x,$y)"
88 Return the point number for coordinates "$x,$y". If there's
89 nothing at "$x,$y" then return "undef".
90 "$n = $path->n_start()"
92 Return 1, the first N in the path.
