NAME
Math::PlanePath::LTiling -- 2x2 self-similar of four pattern parts
SYNOPSIS
use Math::PlanePath::LTiling;
my $path = Math::PlanePath::LTiling->new;
my ($x, $y) = $path->n_to_xy (123);
DESCRIPTION
This is a self-similar tiling by "L" shapes. A base "L" is replicated four times with end
parts turned +90 and -90 degrees to make a larger L,

The parts are numbered to the left then middle then upper. This relative numbering is
maintained when rotated at the next replication level, as for example N=4 to N=7.
The result is to visit 1 of every 3 points in the first quadrant with a subtle layout of
points and spaces making diagonal lines and little 2x2 blocks.

On the X=Y leading diagonal N=0,2,8,10,32,etc is the integers made from only digits 0 and
2 in base 4. Or equivalently integers which have zero bits at all even numbered
positions, binary c0d0e0f0.
Left or Upper
Option "L_fill => "left"" or "L_fill => "upper"" numbers the tiles instead at their left
end or upper end respectively.

The effect is to disrupt the pattern a bit though the overall structure of the
replications is unchanged.
"left" is as viewed looking towards the L from above. It may have been better to call it
"right", but won't change that now.
Ends
Option "L_fill => "ends"" numbers the two endpoints within each "L", first the left then
upper. This is the inverse of the default middle shown above, ie. it visits all the
points which the middle option doesn't, and so 2 of every 3 points in the first quadrant.

All
Option "L_fill => "all"" numbers all three points of each "L", as middle, left then right.
With this the path visits all points of the first quadrant.

Along the X=Y leading diagonal N=0,6,24,30,96,etc are triples of the values from the
single-point case, so 3* numbers using digits 0 and 2 in base 4, which is the same as 2*
numbers using 0 and 3 in base 4.
Level Ranges
For the "middles", "left" or "upper" cases with one N per tile, and taking the initial N=0
tile as level 0, a replication level is
Nstart = 0
to
Nlevel = 4^level - 1 inclusive
Xmax = Ymax = 2 * 2^level - 1
For example level 2 which is the large tiling shown in the introduction is N=0 to
N=4^2-1=15 and extends to Xmax=Ymax=2*2^2-1=7.
For the "ends" variation there's two points per tile, or for "all" there's three, in which
case the Nlevel increases to
Nlevel_ends = 2 * 4^level - 1
Nlevel_all = 3 * 4^level - 1
FUNCTIONS
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for behaviour common to all path classes.
"$path = Math::PlanePath::LTiling->new ()"
"$path = Math::PlanePath::LTiling->new (L_fill => $str)"
Create and return a new path object. The "L_fill" choices are
"middle" the default
"left"
"upper"
"ends"
"all"
"($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, 4**$level - 1 middle, left, upper
0, 2*4**$level - 1 ends
0, 3*4**$level - 1 all
There are 4^level L shapes in a level, each containing 1, 2 or 3 points, numbered
starting from 0.
OEIS
Entries in Sloane's Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences related to this path include
<http://oeis.org/A062880> (etc)
L_fill=middle
A062880 N on X=Y diagonal, base 4 digits 0,2 only
A048647 permutation N at transpose Y,X
base4 digits 1<->3 and 0,2 unchanged
A112539 X+Y+1 mod 2, parity inverted
L_fill=left or upper
A112539 X+Y mod 2, parity
A112539 is a parity of bits at even positions in N, ie. count 1-bits at even bit positions
(least significant is bit position 0), then add 1 and take mod 2. This works because in
the pattern sub-blocks 0 and 2 are unchanged and 1 and 3 are turned so as to be on
opposite X,Y odd/even parity, so a flip for every even position 1-bit. L_fill=middle
starts on a 0 even parity, and L_fill=left and upper start on 1 odd parity. The latter is
the form in A112539 and L_fill=middle is the bitwise 0<->1 inverse.
