- Teragon
A teragon is a
self-similar fractal curve that can be produced by replacing eachline segment in an initial figure with multiple connected segments, then replacing each of those segments with the same pattern of segments which was used to replace the first figure, and repeating the process an infnite number of times for every line segment in the figure. Teragons are composed of infinitely many segments. Examples of such fractals include theKoch curve and thePeano curve .References
