The dragon curve can be tiled to fill a plane.

A dragon curve is a well-known recursively defined curve, similar in vein to the von Koch snowflake.

It can be formed by paper-folding methods and can be written as a Lindenmayer system with

• initial string FX,
• string rewriting rules
  • X <math>\mapsto<math> X+YF+,
  • Y <math>\mapsto<math> -FX-Y,
• angle 90°.
