1. The Dragon Curve (Jurassic Park Fractal) Kelsey Jones
The dragon curve is a fractal that starts as a right angle, the two segments of which are each replaced by another right angle segment, rotated by 45 degrees.
How this is accomplished in MATLAB:
Define starting points P1, P2, and P3
Draw lines P1-P2 & P2-P3
Calculate new points P12 and P23
Loop so that new points are fed back into function (and lines P1-P12, P12-P2, P2-P23, & P23-P3 are subsequently drawn), etc.
