In mazealls: Generate Recursive Mazes

Description

Recursively draw a Sierpinski isosceles trapezoid maze, with three sides consisting of 2^{depth} pieces of length unit_len, and one long side of length 2^{depth+1} pieces, starting from the long side.

Usage

sierpinski_trapezoid_maze(depth, unit_len = 4L, clockwise = TRUE,
  start_from = c("midpoint", "corner"), color1 = "black",
  color2 = "gray40", flip_color_parts = 1, draw_boundary = FALSE,
  num_boundary_holes = 2, boundary_lines = TRUE, boundary_holes = NULL,
  boundary_hole_color = NULL, boundary_hole_locations = NULL,
  boundary_hole_arrows = FALSE, end_side = 1)

Arguments

depth	the depth of recursion. This controls the side length: three sides have round(2^depth) segments of length unit_len, while the long side is twice as long. depth need not be integral.
unit_len	the unit length in graph coordinates. This controls the width of the ‘holes’ in the boundary lines and generally controls the spacing of mazes.
clockwise	whether to draw clockwise.
start_from	whether to start from the midpoint of the first side of a maze, or from the corner facing the first side.
color1	The dominant color of the maze.
color2	The negative color of the maze.
flip_color_parts	a numerical array which can contain values 1 through 4. Those parts of the maze, when drawn recursively, have their colors flipped. A value of 3 corresponds to a traditional Sierpinski triangle, while 1 corresponds to a Hexaflake. Values of 2 or 4 look more like dragon mazes.
draw_boundary	a boolean indicating whether a final boundary shall be drawn around the maze.
num_boundary_holes	the number of boundary sides which should be randomly selected to have holes. Note that the boundary_holes parameter takes precedence.
boundary_lines	indicates which of the sides of the maze shall have drawn boundary lines. Can be a logical array indicating which sides shall have lines, or a numeric array, giving the index of sides that shall have lines.
boundary_holes	an array indicating which of the boundary lines have holes. If NULL, then boundary holes are randomly selected by the num_boundary_holes parameter. If numeric, indicates which sides of the maze shall have holes. If a boolean array, indicates which of the sides shall have holes. These forms are recycled if needed. See holey_path. Note that if no line is drawn, no hole can be drawn either.
boundary_hole_color	the color of boundary holes. A value of NULL indicates no colored holes. See holey_path for more details. Can be an array of colors, or colors and the value 'clear', which stands in for NULL to indicate no filled hole to be drawn.
boundary_hole_locations	the ‘locations’ of the boundary holes within each boundary segment. A value of NULL indicates the code may randomly choose, as is the default. May be a numeric array. A positive value up to the side length is interpreted as the location to place the boundary hole. A negative value is interpreted as counting down from the side length plus 1. A value of zero corresponds to allowing the code to pick the location within a segment. A value of NA may cause an error.
boundary_hole_arrows	a boolean or boolean array indicating whether to draw perpendicular double arrows at the boundary holes, as a visual guide. These can be useful for locating the entry and exit points of a maze.
end_side	the number of the side to end on. A value of 1 corresponds to the starting side, while higher numbers correspond to the drawn side of the figure in the canonical order (that is, the order induced by the clockwise parameter).

Details

Draws a maze in an isoscelese trapezoid with three sides of equal length and one long side of twice that length, starting from the midpoint of the long side (or the corner before the first side via the start_from option). Differently colors the parts of the maze for a Sierpinski effect.

Here are mazes for different values of flip_color_parts ranging from 1 to 4:

Value

nothing; the function is called for side effects only, though in the future this might return information about the drawn boundary of the shape.
