中文版:龙曲线在线计算器

Dragon Curve Calculator
折叠阶数 n(1–15,段数 = 2ⁿ)

原理:龙曲线(Heighway 龙)由不断对折纸条得到——把纸条反复对折 n 次后展开,使每处折痕成直角,纸条便盘成一条巨龙。方向序列满足正则折叠规律:d(2n) = d(n)、d(4n+1) = 1(右转)、d(4n+3) = 0(左转);也可迭代构造 D(n+1) = D(n) + [右转] + reverse(D(n) 取反)。前 16 步方向为 1,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,1,0,0,1。曲线的神奇性质:n = 8 时从 (0,0) 出发恰好停在 (16, 0),且整条曲线自不相交——阶数每加一,段数翻倍、龙身对折加倍。

步骤:输入折叠阶数 n(1–15),程序计算方向序列并逐段追踪,绘制折线并给出终点与包围盒。

示例:n = 5 时终点 = (−4, 4),包围盒 6 × 7;n = 8 时终点 = (16, 0),包围盒 23 × 15,共 256 段。

注意事项:n ≤ 15(32768 段已达渲染上限);坐标以步长 1 的格点计。龙曲线是分形——n → ∞ 时维数为 2(它最终铺满平面区域),豪斯多夫维数恰好为 2。

相关:n = 8 段数 256;终点 (16, 0);包围盒 23 × 15。
