Could Leonardo da Vinci make a sketch of his famous Gioconda painting with just one pencil stroke? Or, if all he had was just a very long piece of rope could he arrange it so that the famous face would be recreated?
I wrote a program that actually creates a picture as if it was drawn by a single line. Look at the images here, medium res and high res. Note that the line is unbroken and does not cross over itself.
I owe my inspiration to fractalcurves.com where many kinds of space filling curves are described. Mine is a new variant of Peano sweep.
