gosper-curve-cli

Print the Gosper Curve to the console!

Why the console? Because it's the cool way.

See All Fractals in the fractals-cli project.

Usage

Via npx:

$ npx gosper-curve-cli <n>
$ npx gosper-curve-cli <n> [options]

where n >= 0.

Via Global Install

$ npm install --global gosper-curve-cli
$ gosper-curve-cli <n>
$ gosper-curve-cli <n> [options]

where n >= 0.

Via Import

$ npm install gosper-curve-cli

then:

const gosper_curve = require('gosper-curve-cli');
console.log(gosper_curve.create(<n>);
console.log(gosper_curve.create(<n>, { 
    inverse: <boolean>,
    rotation: <left|right|standard>,
    line: <bold|standard> 
});

The config params are optional.

Options

Recursive Step

$ gosper-curve-cli <n>

The first param <n> is the recursive step. <n> should be an integer greater than or equal to 0.

Examples:

$ gosper-curve-cli 2

$ gosper-curve-cli 3

Inverse

$ gosper-curve-cli <n> --inverse

The optional --inverse param (or shorthand -i) will draw the inverse Gosper Curve.

Example:

$ gosper-curve-cli 3 --inverse

Rotation

$ gosper-curve-cli <n> --rotate=<left|right|standard>

The optional --rotate param rotates the Gosper Curve. Supported values:

• left: Rotate left 120 degrees
• right: Rotate right 120 degrees
• standard: No rotation (default)

Example:

$ gosper-curve-cli 3 --rotate=right

$ gosper-curve-cli 3 --rotate=left

Line Type

$ gosper-curve-cli <n> --line=<bold|standard>

The optional --line param draws the Gosper Curve using different line types. Supported values:

• bold: Draw using bold lines
• standard: Draw using standard lines (default)

Examples:

$ gosper-curve-cli 3 --line=bold

By default, lines are drawn using long unicode slash characters (╱, ╲). To instead draw using standard slash characters (/, \ ), add the --slash param (or shorthand -s).

$ gosper-curve-cli <n> --slash

(May look better/worse on certain terminals)
