in reply to Fractal Curves: Short & Fast Codes?
of course, if you don't consider using GhostScript to render your fractal as cheating, here's a simple one using the very old technique of string replacement:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use integer; my $depth = 4; my $start = '_/_\_\_/_'; # _ = forward, / = left, \ = right my $fractal = $start; $fractal =~ s/_/$start/og for ( 0 .. $depth ); $fractal =~ s/_/0 0.8 rlineto /g; $fractal =~ s,/,90 rotate ,g; $fractal =~ s,\\,270 rotate ,g; print '%!', "\n", '0.1 setlinewidth 500 100 moveto ', $fractal, 'stroke showpage', "\n";
Can't remember what this fractal is called, sorry. As it stands, it should render on A4 and Letter paper.
