Flip units

Description

Flip units

Usage

unit_orientation(p, index = "")

## S4 method for signature 'sfc_nxn'
sfc_flip_unit(p, index = "", to = NULL)

## S4 method for signature 'sfc_unit'
sfc_flip_unit(p, bases)

Arguments

p	The corresponding object.
index	A string of digits representing the path on the hierarchy of the curve. The left side corresponds to the top level and the right side corresponds to the bottom level on the curve. For the 2x2 curve, the digits can only be 1-4, and for the Peano and Meander curves, the digits can be 1-9. The hierarchical index should be specified in a format of i1:i2:i3:... where : can be replaced by any non-number character. For 2x2 and 3x3 curves, : can be omitted and the hierarchical index can be specified as i1i2i3.... See examples in sfc_index(). The value can also be a vector where each flipping is applied in sequence.
to	The orientation to flip to. If the specified unit already has such orientation, the function returns the original curve.
bases	Normally use BASE_LIST.

Details

The orientation of a unit is the orientation of the line connected by the entry-corner and exit-corner of that unit.

A unit in the curve is represented as a square block (e.g. ⁠2^k x 2^k⁠ for the 2x2 curve and ⁠3^k x 3^k⁠ for the Peano and Meander curves, k between 1 and the level of the curve). In the 2x2 curve, if an unit can be flipped, it is symmetric, thus flipping in the 2x2 curve does not change its form. The flipping is mainly applied on the Peano curve and the Meander curves. Peano curve only allows flippings by the diagonals and the Meander curve only allows flipping horizontally or vertically. The type of flipping is choosen automatically in the function.

Currently, sfc_flip_unit() only works on curves with a single base pattern as the seed.

Value

unit_orientation() returns a string one of "vertical", "horizontal", "diagonal_1" and "diagonal_-1".

sfc_flip_unit returns an sfc_nxn object.

Examples

p = sfc_3x3_meander("I", 11)
draw_multiple_curves(
    p, 
    sfc_flip_unit(p, "1"), # bottom left
    sfc_flip_unit(p, "2"), # bottom middle
    sfc_flip_unit(p, "3"), # bottom right
    nrow = 2)

p = sfc_3x3_peano("I", level = 3)
draw_multiple_curves(
    p, 
    sfc_flip_unit(p, ""),
    sfc_flip_unit(p, "2"),
    sfc_flip_unit(p, "2:1"),
    nrow = 2)

p = sfc_3x3_peano("I", level = 2)
draw_multiple_curves(p, 
    sfc_flip_unit(p, c("4", "7")),
    sfc_flip_unit(p, c("1", "2", "3", "5", "6", "8", "9")),
    nrow = 1)
