This is drawing the figure by recursively tripling what's already drawn.

First step is drawing a line. The line is saved as a userpath, then the userpath is added two more times after rotating 120 degrees each time. [2 0 0 2 7 4]concat moves the "rotation point" to the center of the next big white "center triangle" that is to be enclosed by replications of the triangle we already have. Here, we're back to step 1 (creating a upath that's tripled by rotation).

The number of iterations is controlled by the first number in line 3.
