using iteration, but I'm trying to experiment, unsuccessfully. I want to extend
the Sierpinski's Gasket idea (triangle, three different maps, each focused into
a corner of the triangle) to other shapes, e.g. square, pentagon, etc.
I certainly remember doing the pentagon years ago with basic.
My problem is - I set up a square, using a base line, two perpendicular lines, a
circle to give an intersection point, and a third perpendicular line. Then I
put the midpoints on each side. I want the square to reduce in side length by
one half, so that it fills a quarter of the square, tucked into the corner.
Once I've got that map - I'll repeat it for the other 4 corners, just like you
do with Sierpinski's gasket.
Why won't this work? All points are well-defined, I think, so what's
wrong?
Can anyone help?
