NAME

       Math::PlanePath::DekkingCentres -- 5x5 self-similar

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       This is a variation on a 5x5 self-similar curve from

           F. M. Dekking, "Recurrent Sets", Advances in Mathematics, volume 44, 1982, pages
           79-104, section 4.9 "Gosper-Type Curves"

       and which is a horizontal mirror image of the E-curve of McKenna 1978.

       The form visits the "centres" of the 5x5 self-similar unit squares of the pattern.  The
       result is some diagonal steps, but replications wholly within 5x5 areas.

       The base pattern is the N=0 to N=24 section.  It repeats with rotations or reversals which
       make the ends join.  For example N=75 to N=99 is the base pattern in reverse.  Or N=50 to
       N=74 is reverse and also rotate by -90.

FUNCTIONS

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

       "$path = Math::PlanePath::DekkingCentres->new ()"
           Create and return a new path object.

       "($x,$y) = $path->n_to_xy ($n)"
           Return the X,Y coordinates of point number $n on the path.  Points begin at 0 and if
           "$n < 0" then the return is an empty list.

   Level Methods
       "($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path->level_to_n_range($level)"
           Return "(0, 25**$level - 1)".
