CantorDust

public CantorDust()
Method Detail

hausdorffDimension

public double hausdorffDimension()

recurse

public void recurse(double start,
                    double end,
                    int n)
The recursive algorithm for Cantor dust.

Parameters:
start - the start of the line.
end - the end of the line.
n - the number of recursions.

eraseLine

protected abstract void eraseLine(double start,
                                  double end)
Erases a line segment. This need not be an actual graphical operation, but some corresponding abstract operation.
