NAME
Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded -- triangular dragon curve, with rounded corners
SYNOPSIS
use Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded;
my $path = Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded->new;
my ($x, $y) = $path->n_to_xy (123);
# or another radix digits ...
my $path5 = Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded->new (radix => 5);
DESCRIPTION
This is a version of the terdragon curve with rounded-off corners,

The plain "TerdragonCurve" is tripled in size and two points on each edge are visited by the
"TerdragonRounded" here.
Arms
Multiple copies of the curve can be selected, each advancing successively. Like the main terdragon the
rounded curve is 1/6 of the plane and 6 arms rotated by 60, 120, 180, 240 and 300 degrees mesh together
perfectly.
"arms => 6" begins as follows. N=0,6,12,18,etc is the first arm (the curve shown above), then
N=1,7,13,19 the second copy rotated 60 degrees, N=2,8,14,20 the third rotated 120, etc.

FUNCTIONS
See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for the behaviour common to all path classes.
"$path = Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded->new ()"
"$path = Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded->new (arms => $count)"
Create and return a new path object.
"($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.
Fractional positions give an X,Y position along a straight line between the integer positions.
FORMULAS
X,Y Visited
When arms=6 all "hex centred" points of the plane are visited, being those points with
X+3Y mod 6 == 2 or 4 "hex_centred"

terdragon is called hexdragon.
