The start is an S shape of the nine points 0 to 8, and then nine of those
groups are put together in the same S configuration.  The sub-parts are
flipped horizontally and/or vertically to make the starts and ends adjacent,
so 8 is next to 9, 17 next to 18, etc,

     0,1,2       15,16,17 --- 18,19,20

The process repeats, tripling in size each time.

Within a power-of-3 square, 3x3, 9x9, 27x27, 81x81 etc (3^k)x(3^k) at the
origin, all the N values 0 to 3^(2*k)-1 are within the square.  The top
right corner 8, 80, 728, etc is the 3^(2*k)-1 maximum in each.

Because each step is by 1, the distance along the curve between two X,Y
points is the difference in their N values as given by C<xy_to_n()>.

=head2 Radix

The C<radix> parameter can do the calculation in a base other than 3, using
the same kind of direction reversals.  For example radix 5 gives 5x5 groups,

=cut

# math-image --path=PeanoCurve,radix=5 --expression='i<=50?i:0' --output=numbers_dash

=pod

     radix => 5

      4  |  20--21--22--23--24--25--26--27--28--29
         |   |                                   |
      3  |  19--18--17--16--15  34--33--32--31--30
         |                   |   |
      2  |  10--11--12--13--14  35--36--37--38--39

         |                   |   |
     Y=0 |   0-- 1-- 2-- 3-- 4  45--46--47--48--49--50-...

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

If the radix is even then the ends of each group don't join up.  For example
in radix 4 N=15 isn't next to N=16, nor N=31 to N=32, etc.

=cut

# math-image --path=PeanoCurve,radix=4 --expression='i<=33?i:0' --output=numbers_dash

=pod

     radix => 4

      3  |  15--14--13--12  16--17--18--19
         |               |               |

         |               |               |
     Y=0 |   0-- 1-- 2-- 3  31--30--29--28  32--33-...

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

Even sizes can be made to join using other patterns, but this module is just
Peano's digit construction.  For joining up in 2x2 groupings see
C<HilbertCurve> (which is essentially the only way to join up in 2x2).  For
bigger groupings there's various ways.

=head2 Unit Square

Peano's original form was for filling a unit square by mapping a number T in
the range 0E<lt>TE<lt>1 to a pair of X,Y coordinates 0E<lt>XE<lt>1 and
0E<lt>YE<lt>1.  The curve is continuous and every such X,Y is reached, so it
fills the unit square.  A unit cube or higher dimension can be filled
similarly by developing three or more coordinates X,Y,Z, etc.  Georg Cantor
had shown a line is equivalent to the plane, Peano's mapping is a continuous
way to do that.

The code here could be pressed into service for a fractional T to X,Y by
multiplying up by a power of 9 to desired precision then dividing X and Y
back by the same power of 3 (perhaps swapping X,Y for which one should be
the first ternary digit).  Note that if T is a binary floating point then a
power of 3 division will round off in general since 1/3 is not exactly
representable.  (See C<HilbertCurve> or C<ZOrderCurve> for binary mappings.)

=head2 Diagonal Lines

The Peano curve is sometimes shown as

         +-----+
         |     |
    -----+-----+-----
         |     |
         +-----+

=head2 Power of 3 Patterns

Plotting sequences of values with some connection to ternary digits or
powers of 3 will usually give the most interesting patterns on the Peano
curve.  For example the Mephisto waltz sequence
(eg. L<Math::NumSeq::MephistoWaltz>) makes diamond shapes,

    **   *  ***   *  *  *** **   *** **   *** ** **   *  *
    *  *   ** ** ***   ** ***  *  *   ** ** ***   ** ***

This arises from each 3x3 block in the Mephisto waltz being one of two
shapes which are then flipped by the Peano pattern

    * * _                     _ _ *
    * _ _           or        _ * *    (inverse)

=head1 FUNCTIONS

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

=over 4

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

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

Create and return a new path object.

The optional C<radix> parameter gives the base for digit splitting.  The
default is ternary C<radix =E<gt> 3>.

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

Return the X,Y coordinates of point number C<$n> on the path.  Points begin
at 0 and if C<$n E<lt> 0> then the return is an empty list.

Fractional positions give an X,Y position along a straight line between the
integer positions.  Integer positions are always just 1 apart either
horizontally or vertically, so the effect is that the fraction part appears
either added to or subtracted from X or Y.

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

Return an integer point number for coordinates C<$x,$y>.  Each integer N is
considered the centre of a unit square and an C<$x,$y> within that square
returns N.

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

Return a range of N values which occur in a rectangle with corners at
C<$x1>,C<$y1> and C<$x2>,C<$y2>.  If the X,Y values are not integers then
the curve is treated as unit squares centred on each integer point and
squares which are partly covered by the given rectangle are included.

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

=head1 FORMULAS

=head2 N to X,Y

Peano's calculation is based on putting base-3 digits of N alternately to X
or Y.  From the high end of N a digit is appended to Y then the next
appended to X.  Beginning at an even digit position in N makes the last
digit go to X so the first N=0,1,2 goes along the X axis.

At each stage a "complement" state is maintained for X and for Y.  When
complemented the digit is reversed to S<2 - digit>, so 0,1,2 becomes 2,1,0.
This reverses the direction so points like N=12,13,14 shown above go to the
left, or groups like 9,10,11 then 12,13,14 then 15,16,17 go downwards.

The complement is calculated by adding the digits from N which went to the
other one of X or Y.  So the X complement is the sum of digits which have
gone to Y so far.  Conversely the Y complement is the sum of digits put
to X.  If the complement sum is odd then the reversal is done.  A bitwise
XOR can be used instead of a sum to accumulate odd/even-ness the same way as
a sum.

When forming the complement state the original digits from N are added,
before applying any complementing for putting them to X or Y.  If the radix
is odd, like the default 3, then complementing doesn't change it mod 2 so
either before or after is fine, but if the radix is even then it's not the
same.

It also works to take the base-3 digits of N from low to high, generating
low to high digits in X and Y.  When an odd digit is put to X then the low
digits of Y so far must be complemented as S<22..22 - Y> (the 22..22 value
being all 2s in base 3, ie. 3^k-1).  Conversely if an odd digit is put to Y
then X must be complemented.  With this approach the high digit position in
N doesn't have to be found, but instead peel off digits of N from the low
end.  But the subtract to complement is then more work if using bignums.

=head2 X,Y to N

The X,Y to N calculation can be done by an inverse of either the high to low
or low to high methods above.  In both cases digits are put alternately from
X and Y onto N, with complement as necessary.

For the low to high approach it's not easy to complement just the X digits
in the N constructed so far, but it works to build and complement the X and
Y digits separately then at the end interleave to make the final N.
Complementing is the ternary equivalent of an XOR in binary.  On a ternary
machine some trit-twiddling could no doubt do it.

For the low to high with even radix the complementing is also tricky since
changing the accumulated X affects the digits of Y below that, and vice
versa.  What's the rule?  Is it alternate digits which end up complemented?
In any case the current C<xy_to_n()> code goes high to low which is easier,
but means breaking the X,Y inputs into arrays of digits before beginning.

=head2 N to abs(dX),abs(dY)

The curve goes horizontally or vertically according to the number of trailing "2" digits when N is written in ternary,

    N trailing 2s   direction     abs(dX)     abs(dY)
    -------------   ---------     -------
      even          horizontal       1          0
      odd           vertical         0          1

For example N=5 is "12" in ternary has 1 trailing "2" which is odd so the
step from N=5 to N=6 is vertical.

This works because when stepping from N to N+1 a carry propagates through
the trailing 2s to increment the digit above.  Digits go alternately to X or
Y so odd or even trailing 2s put that carry into an X digit or Y digit.

          X Y X Y X
    N   ... 2 2 2 2
    N+1   1 0 0 0 0  carry propagates

=head2 Rectangle to N Range

An easy over-estimate of the maximum N in a region can be had by going to
the next bigger (3^k)x(3^k) square enclosing the region.  This means the
biggest X or Y rounded up to the next power of 3 (perhaps using C<log()> if
you trust its accuracy), so

    find k with 3^k > max(X,Y)
    N_hi = 3^(2k) - 1

An exact N range can be found by following the "high to low" N to X,Y
procedure above.  Start with the easy over-estimate to find a 3^(2k) ternary
digit position in N bigger than the desired region, then choose a digit
0,1,2 for X, the biggest which overlaps some of the region.  Or if there's
an X complement then the smallest digit is the biggest N, again whichever
overlaps the region.  Then likewise for a digit of Y, etc.

Biggest and smallest N must maintain separate complement states as they
track down different N digits.  A single loop can be used since there's the
same "2k" many digits of N to consider for both.

The N range of any shape can be done this way, not just a rectangle like
C<rect_to_n_range()>.  The procedure only depends on asking whether a
one-third sub-part of X or Y overlaps the target region or not.

    A163340    A163336 + 1, Peano starting from N=1

C<Math::PlanePath::Diagonals> numbers points from the Y axis down, which is
the opposite axis to the Peano curve first step along the X axis, so a plain
C<Diagonals> -> C<PeanoCurve> is the "opposite axis" form A163336.

These sequences are permutations of the integers since all X,Y positions of
the first quadrant are reached eventually.  The inverses are as follows.
They can be thought of taking X,Y positions in the Peano curve order and
then asking what N the Diagonals would put there.
