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.
