The base figure is an "S" shape

       2-----3
        \
         \
    0-----1

which then repeats in self-similar style, so N=3 to N=6 is a copy rotated
+120 degrees, which is the angle of the N=1 to N=2 edge,

    6      4          base figure repeats
     \   / \          as N=3 to N=6,
      \/    \         rotated +120 degrees
      5 2----3
        \
         \
    0-----1

Then N=6 to N=9 is a plain horizontal, which is the angle of N=2 to N=3,

          8-----9       base figure repeats
           \            as N=6 to N=9,
            \           no rotation

         5,2----3

       0-----1

Notice X=1,Y=1 is visited twice as N=2 and N=5.  Similarly X=2,Y=2 as N=4
and N=7.  Each point can repeat up to 3 times.  "Inner" points are 3 times
and on the edges up to 2 times.  The first tripled point is X=1,Y=3 which as
shown above is N=8, N=11 and N=14.

The curve never crosses itself.  The vertices touch as triangular corners
and no edges repeat.

The curve turns are the same as the C<GosperSide>, but here the turns are by
120 degrees each whereas C<GosperSide> is 60 degrees each.  The extra angle
here tightens up the shape.

=head2 Spiralling

The first step N=1 is to the right along the X axis and the path then slowly
spirals anti-clockwise and progressively fatter.  The end of each
replication is

    Nlevel = 3^level

That point is at level*30 degrees around (as reckoned with Y*sqrt(3) for a
triangular grid).

    Nlevel      X, Y     Angle (degrees)
    ------    -------    -----
       1        1, 0        0
       3        3, 1       30

      81       -9, 9      120
     243      -27, 9      150
     729      -54, 0      180

The following is points N=0 to N=3^6=729 going half-circle around to 180
degrees.  The N=0 origin is marked "0" and the N=729 end is marked "E".

=head2 Arms

The curve fills a sixth of the plane and six copies rotated by 60, 120, 180,
240 and 300 degrees mesh together perfectly.  The C<arms> parameter can
choose 1 to 6 such curve arms successively advancing.

For example C<arms =E<gt> 6> begins as follows.  N=0,6,12,18,etc is the
first arm (the same shape as the plain curve above), then N=1,7,13,19 the
second, N=2,8,14,20 the third, etc.

                  \         /             \           /
                   \       /               \         /

    --- 9/14/32 ------------- 0/1/2/3/4/5 -------------- 6/17/35 ---
      /         \            /           \             /        \
     /           \          /             \           /          \
                  \        /               \         /
               --- 10/15/33 ---------------- 11/16/34 ---
                  /        \               /         \
                 /          \             /           \

With six arms every X,Y point is visited three times, except the origin 0,0
where all six begin.  Every edge between points is traversed once.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

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

=over 4

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

=item C<$path = Math::PlanePath::TerdragonCurve-E<gt>new (arms =E<gt> 6)>

Create and return a new path object.

The optional C<arms> parameter can make 1 to 6 copies of the curve, each arm
successively advancing.

=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.

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

Return the point number for coordinates C<$x,$y>.  If there's nothing at
C<$x,$y> then return C<undef>.

The curve can visit an C<$x,$y> up to three times.  C<xy_to_n()> returns the
smallest of the these N values.

=item C<@n_list = $path-E<gt>xy_to_n_list ($x,$y)>

Return a list of N point numbers for coordinates C<$x,$y>.

The origin 0,0 has C<arms_count()> many N since it's the starting point for
each arm.  Other points have up to 3 Ns for a given C<$x,$y>.  If arms=6
then every C<$x,$y> except the origin has exactly 3 Ns.

=back

=head2 Descriptive Methods

=over

=item C<$n = $path-E<gt>n_start()>

Return 0, the first N in the path.

=item C<$dx = $path-E<gt>dx_minimum()>

=item C<$dx = $path-E<gt>dx_maximum()>

=item C<$dy = $path-E<gt>dy_minimum()>

=item C<$dy = $path-E<gt>dy_maximum()>

The dX,dY values on the first arm take three possible combinations, being
120 degree angles.

    dX,dY   for arms=1
    -----
     2, 0        dX minimum = -1, maximum = +2
    -1, 1        dY minimum = -1, maximum = +1
     1,-1

For 2 or more arms the second arm is rotated by 60 degrees so giving the
following additional combinations, for a total six.  This changes the dX
minimum.

    dX,dY   for arms=2 or more
    -----
    -2, 0        dX minimum = -2, maximum = +2
     1, 1        dY minimum = -1, maximum = +1
    -1,-1

=back

=head2 Level Methods

=over

=item C<($n_lo, $n_hi) = $path-E<gt>level_to_n_range($level)>

Return C<(0, 3**$level)>, or for multiple arms return C<(0, $arms *
3**$level + ($arms-1))>.

There are 3^level segments in a curve level, so 3^level+1 points numbered
from 0.  For multiple arms there are arms*(3^level+1) points, numbered from
0 so n_hi = arms*(3^level+1)-1.

=head2 N to X,Y

There's no reversals or reflections in the curve so C<n_to_xy()> can take
the digits of N either low to high or high to low and apply what is
effectively powers of the N=3 position.  The current code goes low to high
using i,j,k coordinates as described in L<Math::PlanePath/Triangular
Calculations>.

    si = 1    # position of endpoint N=3^level
    sj = 0    #    where level=number of digits processed
    sk = 0

    i = 0     # position of N for digits so far processed
    j = 0
    k = 0

    loop base 3 digits of N low to high
       if digit == 0
          i,j,k no change
       if digit == 1
          (i,j,k) = (si-j, sj-k, sk+i)  # rotate +120, add si,sj,sk
       if digit == 2
          i -= sk      # add (si,sj,sk) rotated +60
          j += si
          k += sj

       (si,sj,sk) = (si - sk,      # add rotated +60
                     sj + si,
                     sk + sj)

The digit handling is a combination of rotate and offset,

    digit==1                   digit 2
    rotate and offset          offset at si,sj,sk rotated

         ^                          2------>
          \
           \                          \
    *---  --1                  *--   --*

The calculation can also be thought of in term of w=1/2+I*sqrt(3)/2, a
complex number sixth root of unity.  i is the real part, j in the w
direction (60 degrees), and k in the w^2 direction (120 degrees).  si,sj,sk
increase as if multiplied by w+1.

=head2 Turn

At each point N the curve always turns 120 degrees either to the left or
right, it never goes straight ahead.  If N is written in ternary then the
lowest non-zero digit gives the turn

   ternary lowest
   non-zero digit     turn
   --------------     -----
         1            left
         2            right

At N=3^level or N=2*3^level the turn follows the shape at that 1 or 2 point.
The first and last unit step in each level are in the same direction, so the
next level shape gives the turn.

       2*3^k-------3*3^k
          \
           \
    0-------1*3^k

=head2 Next Turn

The next turn, ie. the turn at position N+1, can be calculated from the
ternary digits of N similarly.  The lowest non-2 digit gives the turn.

   ternary lowest
     non-2 digit       turn
   --------------      -----
          0            left
          1            right

If N is all 2s then the lowest non-2 is taken to be a 0 above the high end.
For example N=8 is 22 ternary so considered 022 for lowest non-2 digit=0 and
turn left after the segment at N=8, ie. at point N=9 turn left.

This rule works for the same reason as the plain turn above.  The next turn
of N is the plain turn of N+1 and adding +1 turns trailing 2s into trailing
0s and increments the 0 or 1 digit above them to be 1 or 2.

=head2 Total Turn

The direction at N, ie. the total cumulative turn, is given by the number of
1 digits when N is written in ternary,

    direction = (count 1s in ternary N) * 120 degrees

For example N=12 is ternary 110 which has two 1s so the cumulative turn at
that point is 2*120=240 degrees, ie. the segment N=16 to N=17 is at angle
240.

The segments for digit 0 or 2 are in the "current" direction unchanged.  The
segment for digit 1 is rotated +120 degrees.

=head2 X,Y to N

The current code applies C<TerdragonMidpoint> C<xy_to_n()> to calculate six
candidate N from the six edges around a point.  Those N values which convert
back to the target X,Y by C<n_to_xy()> are the results for
C<xy_to_n_list()>.

The six edges are three going towards the point and three going away.  The
midpoint calculation gives N-1 for the towards and N for the away.  Is there
a good way to tell which edge will be the smaller?  Or just which 3 edges
lead away?  It would be directions 0,2,4 for the even arms and 1,3,5 for the
odd ones, but identifying the boundaries of those arms to know which is
which is difficult.

=head2 X,Y Visited

When arms=6 all "even" points of the plane are visited.  As per the
triangular representation of X,Y this means

    X+Y mod 2 == 0        "even" points
