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.
