Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded -- triangular dragon curve, with rounded corners
use Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded; my $path = Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded->new; my ($x, $y) = $path->n_to_xy (123); # or another radix digits ... my $path5 = Math::PlanePath::TerdragonRounded->new (radix => 5);
This is a version of the terdragon curve with rounded-off corners,

The plain "TerdragonCurve" is tripled in size and two points on each 3-long edge are visited by the "TerdragonRounded" here.
Multiple copies of the curve can be selected, each advancing successively. The curve is 1/6 of the plane (like the plain terdragon) and 6 arms rotated by 60, 120, 180, 240 and 300 degrees mesh together perfectly.
"arms => 6" begins as follows. N=0,6,12,18,etc is the first arm (the curve shown above), then N=1,7,13,19 the second copy rotated 60 degrees, N=2,8,14,20 the third rotated 120, etc.

See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::PlanePath for the behaviour common to all path classes.
Fractional positions give an X,Y position along a straight line between the integer positions.
These level ranges are like "TerdragonMidpoint" but with 2 points on each line segment terdragon line segment instead of 1.
When arms=6 all "hex centred" points of the plane are visited, being those points with
X+3Y mod 6 == 2 or 4 "hex_centred"
