This software is a Perl implementation of Hilbert's space-filling curve. It enables users to visualize and map one-dimensional data into a two-dimensional space, making it easier to analyze and process large amounts of data.
Math::Curve::Hilbert is a versatile Perl module that offers various useful functionalities utilizing Hilbert's Space-filling Curve. Whether it's Dithering, Flattening n-dimensional data or fractals, this module can come in handy.
A Space Filling Curve is a type of fractal curve with unique characteristics, such as completely covering an area, volume or hyper-volume, and the curve not crossing itself. Neighbor points in the native space are likely to be neighbors in the space filling curve. Other space filling curves include The Peano and Morton or Z-order curves, and the Hilbert II curve, which has an 'S' shape instead of the 'U' shape. Though the Hilbert curve can be applied to three dimensions, this module only supports two dimensions.
For most space filling curves, the area needs to be divided into parts that are a power of two. For example, 8, 16, 32, etc.
To use this module, you can create a new object representing the curve with specific parameters, such as direction, maximum value, clockwise or counterclockwise, and step. You can also get a point from coordinates, coordinates from a point, and range(s) from a box.
The module also allows you to draw an image representing the curve by utilizing GD library. Once you create a new image and allocate colors for it, you can proceed to draw the curve using the given functions.
Overall, Math::Curve::Hilbert is a reliable and effective tool for handling space filling curve related tasks in Perl.
