public abstract class RepeatedSegmentFractal
extends Exhibit

A fractal curve in which a level (N+1) approximation of the fractal is computed from a level N approximation by replacing each line segement with a scaled and transformed copy of the entire curve. Examples include Koch and Hilbert.

Constructor Detail

RepeatedSegmentFractal

public RepeatedSegmentFractal()

Constructor sets a default color of BLACK and a default window of (-1,1,-1,1). It also adds "fractility" and "recursionLevel" parameters to the exhibit.

Method Detail

getCreateAnimation

public Animation getCreateAnimation(View view)

Returns a create animation that shows the curve at each approximation level from 1 up to the currently selected level of recursion.

Overrides:

getCreateAnimation in class Exhibit

Parameters:

view - A View that is displaying this Exhibit. The animation, if any, that is returned by this method will be installed in the View's display. If the view is null, than a creation animation that can run independently of a view could be returned.

Returns:

A creation animation for the given View of this Exhibit. The return value can be null to indicate that no creation animation is to be run.

getDefaultView

public View getDefaultView()

Returns a default view of type RSFView, where RSFView is a nested class inside this class.

Overrides:

getDefaultView in class Exhibit
