=head1 NAME

Math::PlanePath::PyramidRows -- points stacked up in a pyramid

=head1 SYNOPSIS

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

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This path arranges points in successively wider rows going upwards so as to
form an upside-down pyramid.  The default step is 2, ie. each row 2 wider
than the preceding, an extra point at the left and the right,

    17  18  19  20  21  22  23  24  25         4
        10  11  12  13  14  15  16             3
             5   6   7   8   9                 2
                 2   3   4                     1
                     1                   <-  Y=0

    -4  -3  -2  -1  X=0  1   2   3   4 ...

X<Square numbers>The right end N=1,4,9,16,etc is the perfect squares.  The
vertical 2,6,12,20,etc at x=-1 is the X<Pronic numbers>pronic numbers
s*(s+1), half way between those successive squares.

The step 2 is the same as the C<PyramidSides>, C<Corner> and C<SacksSpiral>
paths.  For the C<SacksSpiral>, spiral arms going to the right correspond to
diagonals in the pyramid, and arms to the left correspond to verticals.

=head2 Step Parameter

A C<step> parameter controls how much wider each row is than the preceding,
to make wider pyramids.  For example step 4

    my $path = Math::PlanePath::PyramidRows->new (step => 4);

makes each row 2 wider on each side successively

   29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45        4
         16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28              3
                7  8  9 10 11 12 13 14 15                    2
                      2  3  4  5  6                          1
                            1                          <-  Y=0

         -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 X=0 1  2  3  4  5  6 ...

If the step is an odd number then the extra is at the right, so step 3 gives

    13  14  15  16  17  18  19  20  21  22        3
         6   7   8   9  10  11  12                2
             2   3   4   5                        1
                 1                          <-  Y=0

    -3  -2  -1  X=0  1   2   3   4 ...

Or step 1 goes solely to the right.  This is equivalent to the Diagonals
path, but columns shifted up to make horizontal rows.

    step => 1

    11  12  13  14  15                4
     7   8   9  10                    3
     4   5   6                        2
     2   3                            1
     1                          <-  Y=0

    X=0  1   2   3   4 ...

Step 0 means simply a vertical, each row 1 wide and not increasing.  This is
unlikely to be much use.  The Rows path with C<width> 1 does this too.

    step => 0

     5        4
     4        3
     3        2
     2        1
     1    <-y=0

    X=0

Various number sequences fall in regular patterns positions depending on the
step.  Large steps are not particularly interesting and quickly become very
wide.  A limit might be desirable in a user interface, but there's no limit
in the code as such.

=head2 Align Parameter

An optional C<align> parameter controls how the points are arranged relative
to the Y axis.  The default shown above is "centre".

"right" means points to the right of the axis,

=cut

# math-image --path=PyramidRows,align=right --all --output=numbers

=pod

    align=>"right"

    26  27  28  29  30  31  32  33  34  35  36        5
    17  18  19  20  21  22  23  24  25                4
    10  11  12  13  14  15  16                        3
     5   6   7   8   9                                2
     2   3   4                                        1
     1                                            <- Y=0

    X=0  1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10

"left" is similar but to the left of the Y axis, ie. into negative X.

=cut

# math-image --path=PyramidRows,align=left --all --output=numbers

=pod

    align=>"left"

    26  27  28  29  30  31  32  33  34  35  36        5
            17  18  19  20  21  22  23  24  25        4
                    10  11  12  13  14  15  16        3
                             5   6   7   8   9        2
                                     2   3   4        1
                                             1    <- Y=0

    -10 -9  -8  -7  -6  -5  -4  -3  -2  -1  X=0

The step parameter still controls how much longer each row is than its
predecessor.

=head2 N Start

The default is to number points starting N=1 as shown above.  An optional
C<n_start> can give a different start, in the same rows sequence.  For
example to start at 0,

=cut

# math-image --path=PyramidRows,n_start=0 --all --output=numbers --size=48x5

=pod

    n_start => 0

                 0                <- Y=0
    --------------------------
    -4 -3 -2 -1 X=0 1  2  3  4

=head2 Step 3 Pentagonals

For step=3 the pentagonal numbers 1,5,12,22,etc, P(k) = (3k-1)*k/2, are at
the rightmost end of each row.  The second pentagonal numbers 2,7,15,26,
S(k) = (3k+1)*k/2 are the vertical at x=-1.  Those second numbers are
obtained by P(-k), and the two together are the "generalized pentagonal
numbers".

Both these sequences are composites from 12 and 15 onwards, respectively,
and the immediately preceding P(k)-1, P(k)-2, and S(k)-1, S(k)-2 are too.
They factorize simply as

    P(k)   = (3*k-1)*k/2
    P(k)-1 = (3*k+2)*(k-1)/2
    P(k)-2 = (3*k-4)*(k-1)/2
    S(k)   = (3*k+1)*k/2
    S(k)-1 = (3*k-2)*(k+1)/2
    S(k)-2 = (3*k+4)*(k-1)/2

Plotting the primes on a step=3 C<PyramidRows> has the second pentagonal
S(k),S(k)-1,S(k)-2 as a 3-wide vertical gap of no primes at X=-1,-2,-3.  The
the plain pentagonal P(k),P(k-1),P(k)-2 are the endmost three N of each row
non-prime.  The vertical is much more noticeable in a plot.

In general a constant offset S(k)-c is a column and from P(k)-c is a
diagonal sloping up dX=2,dY=1 right.  The simple factorizations above using
the roots of the quadratic P(k)-c or S(k)-c is possible whenever 24*c+1 is a
perfect square.  This means the further columns S(k)-5, S(k)-7, S(k)-12, etc
also have no primes.

The columns S(k), S(k)-1, S(k)-2 are prominent because they're adjacent.
There's no other adjacent columns of this type because the squares after 49
are too far apart for 24*c+1 to be a square for successive c.  Of course
there could be other reasons for other columns or diagonals to have few or
many primes.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

See L<Math::PlanePath/FUNCTIONS> for behaviour common to all path classes.

=over 4

=item C<$path = Math::PlanePath::PyramidRows-E<gt>new ()>

=item C<$path = Math::PlanePath::PyramidRows-E<gt>new (step =E<gt> $integer, align =E<gt> $str, n_start =E<gt> $n)>

Create and return a new path object.  The default C<step> is 2.  C<align> is
a string, one of

    "centre"    the default
    "right"     points aligned right of the Y axis
    "left"      points aligned left of the Y axis

Points are always numbered from left to right in the rows, the alignment
changes where each row begins (or ends).

=item C<($x,$y) = $path-E<gt>n_to_xy ($n)>

Return the X,Y coordinates of point number C<$n> on the path.

For C<$n <= 0> the return is an empty list since the path starts at N=1.

=item C<$n = $path-E<gt>xy_to_n ($x,$y)>

Return the point number for coordinates C<$x,$y>.  C<$x> and C<$y> are
each rounded to the nearest integer, which has the effect of treating each
point in the pyramid as a square of side 1.  If C<$x,$y> is outside the
pyramid the return is C<undef>.

=item C<($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path-E<gt>rect_to_n_range ($x1,$y1, $x2,$y2)>

The returned range is exact, meaning C<$n_lo> and C<$n_hi> are the smallest
and biggest in the rectangle.

=head2 Descriptive Methods

=over

=item C<$x = $path-E<gt>sumxy_minimum()>

=item C<$x = $path-E<gt>sumxy_maximum()>

Return the minimum or maximum values taken by coordinate sum X+Y reached by
integer N values in the path.  If there's no minimum or maximum then return
C<undef>.

The path is right and above the X=-Y diagonal, thus giving a minimum sum, in
the following cases.

    align      condition for sumxy_minimum=0
    ------     -----------------------------
    centre              step <= 3
    right               always
    left                step <= 1

=item C<$x = $path-E<gt>diffxy_minimum()>

=item C<$x = $path-E<gt>diffxy_maximum()>

Return the minimum or maximum values taken by coordinate difference X-Y
reached by integer N values in the path.  If there's no minimum or maximum
then return C<undef>.

The path is left and above the X=Y leading diagonal, thus giving a minimum
X-Y difference, in the following cases.

    align      condition for diffxy_minimum=0
    ------     -----------------------------
    centre              step <= 2
    right               step <= 1
    left                always
