Koch: Plots the Koch curve

Description

Koch plots the first iterations of Koch curve, a well-known fractal

Usage

Koch(P1, P2, it)

Arguments

P1

Vector containing the xy-coordinates of point 1. This point is the left extreme of the segment that corresponds to the first iteration (it = 1)

P2

Vector containing the xy-coordinates of point 2. This point is the right extreme of the segment that corresponds to the first iteration (it = 1)

it

Number of iterations to be performed for the construction of Koch curve. It is not recommended to choose a number higher than 7 in order to avoid an excess of computation

Value

None. It produces the plot of the first n iterations of Koch curve in the current coordinate plane
