The curve visits "inside" X,Y points twice.  The first of these is X=-2,Y=1
which is N=7 and also N=11.  The segments N=6,7,8 and N=10,11,12 have
touched, but the path doesn't cross itself.  The doubled vertices are all
like this, touching but not crossing and no edges repeating.

=head2 Arms

The curve fills a quarter of the plane and four copies mesh together
perfectly when rotated by 90, 180 and 270 degrees.  The C<arms> parameter
can choose 1 to 4 curve arms successively advancing.

For example arms=4 begins as follows, with N=0,4,8,12,etc being the first
arm, N=1,5,9,13 the second, N=2,6,10,14 the third and N=3,7,11,15 the
fourth.

With four arms every X,Y point is visited twice (except the origin 0,0 where
all four begin) and every edge between the points is traversed once.

=head2 Level Angle

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 N=2^level which is at level*45 degrees around,

    N       X,Y     angle   radial dist

Here's points N=0 to N=2^9=512.  "0" is the origin and "+" is N=512.  Notice
it's spiralled around full-circle to angle 45 degrees up again, like the
initial N=2.

At a power of two Nlevel=2^level for N=2 or higher, the curve always goes
upward from Nlevel-1 to Nlevel, and then goes to the left for Nlevel+1.  For
example at N=16 the curve goes up N=15 to N=16, then left for N=16 to N=17.
Likewise at N=32, etc.  The spiral curls around ever further but the
self-similar twist back means the Nlevel endpoint is always at this same
up/left orientation.  See L</Total Turn> below for the net direction in
general.

=head2 Level Ranges

The X,Y extents of the path through to Nlevel=2^level can be expressed as a
"length" in the direction of the Xlevel,Ylevel endpoint and a "width"
across.

    level even, so endpoint is a straight line
    k = level/2

       +--+      <- Lmax
       |  |
       |  E      <- Lend = 2^k at Nlevel=2^level
       |
       +-----+
             |
          O  |   <- Lstart=0
          |  |
          +--+   <- Lmin

       ^     ^
    Wmin     Wmax

    Lmax = (7*2^k - 4)/6 if k even
           (7*2^k - 2)/6 if k odd

    Lmin = - (2^k - 1)/3 if k even
           - (2^k - 2)/3 if k odd

    Wmax = (2*2^k - 2) / 3 if k even
           (2*2^k - 1) / 3 if k odd

    Wmin = Lmin

For example level=2 is to Nlevel=2^2=4 and k=level/2=1 is odd so it measures
as follows,

    4      <- Lmax = (7*2^1 - 2)/6 = 2
    |
    3--2
       |
    0--1   <- Lmin = -(2^1 - 2)/3 = 0

    ^  ^Wmax = (2*2^1 - 1)/3 = 1
    |
    Wmin = Lmin = 0

Or level=4 is to Nlevel=2^4=16 and k=4/2=2 is even.  It measures as follows.
The lengthways "L" measures are in the direction of the N=16 endpoint and
the "W" measures are across.

          9----8    5---4        <- Wmax = (2*2^2 - 2)/3 = 2
          |    |    |   |
         10--11,7---6   3---2
               |            |
    16   13---12        0---1
     |    |
    15---14                      <- Wmin = -(2^2 - 1)/3 = -1

     ^                      ^Lmin = Wmin = -1
     |
     Lmax = (7*2^2 - 4)/6 = 4

The formulas are all integer values, but the fractions 7/6, 1/3 and 2/3 show
the limits as the level increases.  If scaled so that length Lend=2^k is
reckoned as 1 unit then Lmax extends 1/6 past the end, Lmin and Wmin extend
1/3, and Wmax extends across 2/3.

=head2 Paper Folding

The path is called a paper folding curve because it can be generated by
thinking of a long strip of paper folded in half repeatedly and then
unfolded so each crease is a 90 degree angle.  The effect is that the curve
repeats in successive doublings turned by 90 degrees and reversed.

The first segment unfolds, pivoting at the "1",

                                          2
                                     ->   |
                     unfold         /     |
                      ===>         |      |
                                          |
    0-------1                     0-------1

Then the same again with that L shape, pivoting at the "2", then after that
pivoting at the "4", and so on.

                                 4
                                 |
                                 |
                                 |
                                 3--------2
           2                              |
           |        unfold          ^     |
           |         ===>            \_   |
           |                              |
    0------1                     0--------1

It can be shown that this unfolding doesn't overlap itself but the corners
may touch, such as at the X=-2,Y=1 etc noted above.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

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

=over 4

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

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

Create and return a new path object.

The optional C<arms> parameter can make 1 to 4 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 visits an C<$x,$y> twice for various points (all the "inside"
points).  The smaller of the two N values is returned.

=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 two Ns for a given C<$x,$y>.  If arms=4
then every C<$x,$y> has exactly two Ns.

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

Return 0, the first N in the path.

=back

=head2 Level Methods

=over

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

Return C<(0, 2**$level)>, or for multiple arms return C<(0, $arms *
2**$level + ($arms-1))>.

There are 2^level segments in a curve level, so 2^level+1 points numbered
from 0.  For multiple arms there are arms*(2^level+1) points, numbered from
0 so n_hi = arms*(2^level+1)-1.

=head2 X,Y to N

The current code uses the C<DragonMidpoint> C<xy_to_n()> by rotating -45
degrees and offsetting to the midpoints of the four edges around the target
X,Y.  The C<DragonMidpoint> algorithm then gives four candidate N values and
those which convert back to the desired X,Y in the C<DragonCurve>
C<n_to_xy()> are the results for C<xy_to_n_list()>.

    Xmid,Ymid = X+Y, Y-X    # rotate -45 degrees
    for dx = 0 or -1
      for dy = 0 or 1
        N candidate = DragonMidpoint xy_to_n(Xmid+dx,Ymid+dy)

Since there's at most two C<DragonCurve> Ns at a given X,Y the loop can stop
when two Ns are found.

Only the "leaving" edges will convert back to the target N, so only two of
the four edges actually need to be considered.  Is there a way to identify
them?  For arm 1 and 3 the leaving edges are up,down on odd points (meaning
sum X+Y odd) and right,left for even points (meaning sum X+Y even).  But for
arm 2 and 4 it's the other way around.  Without an easy way to determine the
arm this doesn't seem to help.

=head2 X,Y is Visited

Whether a given X,Y is visited by the curve can be determined from one or
two segments (rather then up to four for X,Y to N).

            |             S midpoint Xmid = X+Y
            |                        Ymid = Y-X
    *---T--X,Y--S---*
            |             T midpoint Xmid-1
            |                        Ymid+1

Segment S is to the East of X,Y.  The arm it falls on can be determined as
per L<Math::PlanePath::DragonMidpoint/X,Y to N>.  Numbering arm(S) = 0,1,2,3
then

                                     X,Y Visited
                                     -----------
    if arms_count()==4                  yes     # whole plane
    if arm(S) < arms_count()            yes
    if arm(S)==2 and arms_count()==1    no
    if arm(T) < arms_count()            yes

This works because when two arms touch they approach and leave by a right
angle, without crossing.  So two opposite segments S and T identify the two
possible arms coming to the X,Y point.

           |
           |
            \
      ----   ----
          \
           |
           |

An arm only touches its immediate neighbour, ie. arm-1 or arm+1 mod 4.  This
means if arm(S)==2 then arm(T) can only be 1,2,3, not 0.  So if
C<arms_count()> is 1 then arm(T) cannot be on the curve and no need to run
its segment check.

The only exception to the right-angle touching rule is at the origin X,Y =
0,0.  In that case Xmid,Ymid = 0,0 is on the first arm and X,Y is correctly
determined to be on the curve.  If S was not to the East but some other
direction away from X,Y then this wouldn't be so.

=head2 Turn

At each point the curve always turns either left or right, it never goes
straight ahead.  The bit above the lowest 1-bit in N gives the turn
direction.

    N = 0b...z10000   (possibly no trailing 0s)

    z bit    Turn
    -----    ----
      0      left
      1      right

For example N=12 is binary 0b1100, the lowest 1 bit is 0b_1__ and the bit
above that is a 1, which means turn to the right.  Or N=18 is binary
0b10010, the lowest 1 is 0b___1_ and the bit above that is 0, so turn left
there.

This z bit can be picked out with some bit twiddling

    $mask = $n & -$n;          # lowest 1 bit, 000100..00
    $z = $n & ($mask << 1);    # the bit above it
    $turn = ($z == 0 ? 'left' : 'right');

This sequence is in Knuth volume 2 "Seminumerical Algorithms" answer to
section 4.5.3 question 41 and is called the "dragon sequence".  It's
expressed there recursively as

    d(0) = 1       # unused, since first turn at N=1
    d(2N) = d(N)   # shift down looking for low 1-bit
    d(4N+1) = 0    # bit above lowest 1-bit is 0
    d(4N+3) = 1    # bit above lowest 1-bit is 1

=head2 Next Turn

The bits also give the turn after next by looking at the bit above the
lowest 0-bit.  This works because 011..11 + 1 = 100..00 so the bit above the
lowest 0 becomes the bit above the lowest 1.

    N = 0b...w01111    (possibly no trailing 1s)

    w bit    Next Turn
    ----     ---------
      0       left
      1       right

For example at N=12=0b1100 the lowest 0 is the least significant bit 0b___0,
and above that is a 0 too, so at N=13 the turn is to the left.  Or for
N=18=0b10010 the lowest 0 is again the least significant bit, but above it
is a 1, so at N=19 the turn is to the right.

This too can be found with some bit twiddling, as for example

    $mask = $n ^ ($n+1);      # low one and below 000111..11
    $w = $n & ($mask + 1);    # the bit above there
    $turn = ($w == 0 ? 'left' : 'right');

=head2 Total Turn

The total turn is the count of 0E<lt>-E<gt>1 transitions in the runs of bits
of N, which is the same as how many bit pairs of N (including overlaps) are
different so "01" or "10".

This can be seen from the segment replacements resulting from bits of N,

    N bits from high to low, start in "plain" state

    plain state
     0 bit -> no change
     1 bit -> count left, and go to reversed state

    reversed state
     0 bit -> count left, and go to plain state
     1 bit -> no change

The 0 or 1 counts are from the different side a segment expands on in plain
or reversed state.  Segment A to B expands to an "L" shape bend which is on
the right in plain state, but on the left in reversed state.

      plain state             reverse state

      A = = = = B                    +
       \       ^              0bit  / \
        \     /               turn /   \ 1bit
    0bit \   / 1bit           left/     \
          \ /  turn              /       v
           +   left             A = = = = B

In both cases a rotate of +45 degrees keeps the very first segment of the
whole curve in a fixed direction (along the X axis), which means the
south-east slope shown is no-change.  This is the 0 of plain or the 1 of
reversed.  And the north-east slope which is the other new edge is a turn
towards the left.

It can be seen the "state" above is simply the previous bit, so the effect
for the bits of N is to count a left turn at each transition from 0-E<gt>1
or 1-E<gt>0.  Initial "plain" state means the infinite zero bits at the high
end of N are included.  For example N=9 is 0b1001 so three left turns for
curve direction south to N=10 (as can be seen in the diagram above).

     1 00 1   N=9
    ^ ^  ^
    +-+--+---three transitions,
             so three left turns for direction south

The transitions can also be viewed as a count of how many runs of contiguous
0s or 1s, up to the highest 1-bit.

    1 00 1   three blocks of 0s and 1s

X<Arndt, Jorg>X<fxtbook>This can be calculated by some bit twiddling with a
shift and xor to turn transitions into 1-bits which can then be counted, as
per Jorg Arndt (fxtbook section 1.31.3.1 "The Dragon Curve").

    total turn = count_1_bits ($n ^ ($n >> 1))

The reversing structure of the curve shows up in the total turn at each
point.  The total turns for a block of 2^N is followed by its own reversal
plus 1.  For example,

                    ------->
    N=0 to N=7    0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 2, 1

    N=15 to N=8   1, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2    each is +1
                               <-------

=head2 N to dX,dY

C<n_to_dxdy()> is the "total turn" per above, or for fractional N then an
offset according to the "next turn" above.  If using the bit twiddling
operators described then the two can be calculated separately.

The current C<n_to_dxdy()> code tries to support floating point or other
number types without bitwise XOR etc by processing bits high to low with a
state table which combines the calculations for total turn and next turn.
The state encodes

    total turn       0 to 3
    next turn        0 or 1
    previous bit     0 or 1  (the bit above the current bit)

The "next turn" remembers the bit above lowest 0 seen so far (or 0
initially).  The "total turn" counts 0-E<gt>1 or 1-E<gt>0 transitions.  The
"previous bit" shows when there's a transition, or what bit is above when a
0 is seen.  It also works not to have this previous bit in the state but
instead pick out two bits each time.

At the end of bit processing any "previous bit" in state is no longer needed
and can be masked out to lookup the final four dx, dy, next dx, next dy.

The Dragon curve is in Sloane's Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences in
many forms (and see C<DragonMidpoint> for its forms too),

    A038189   turn, 0=left,1=right, bit above lowest 1, extra 0
    A089013    same as A038189, but initial extra 1
    A082410   turn, 1=left,0=right, reversing complement, extra 0
    A099545   turn, 1=left,3=right, as [odd part n] mod 4
               so turn by 90 degrees * 1 or 3
    A034947   turn, 1=left,-1=right, Jacobi (-1/n)
    A112347   turn, 1=left,-1=right, Kronecker (-1/n), extra 0
    A121238   turn, 1=left,-1=right, -1^(n + some partitions) extra 1
    A014577   next turn, 1=left,0=right
    A014707   next turn, 0=left,1=right
    A014709   next turn, 1=left,2=right
    A014710   next turn, 2=left,1=right

These numerous turn sequences differ only in having left or right
represented as 0, 1, -1, etc, and possibly "extra" initial 0 or 1 at n=0
arising from the definitions and the first turn being at n=N=1.  The "next
turn" forms begin at n=0 for turn at N=1 and so are the turn at N=n+1.

For reference, "dragon-like" A059125 is similar to the turn sequence
A014707, but differs in having the "middle" values for each replication come
from successive values of the sequence itself, or some such.

=head2 A126937

The A126937 C<SquareSpiral> numbering has the dragon curve and square
spiralling with their Y axes in opposite directions, as shown in its
F<a126937.pdf>.  So the dragon curve turns up towards positive Y but the
square spiral is numbered down towards negative Y (or vice versa).
C<PlanePath> code for this starting at C<$i=0> would be

      my $dragon = Math::PlanePath::DragonCurve->new;
      my $square = Math::PlanePath::SquareSpiral->new (n_start => 0);
      my ($x, $y) = $dragon->n_to_xy ($i);
      my $A126937_of_i = $square->xy_to_n ($x, -$y);
