On the square grid go one step to the left for a -1, one to the right for a +1, one down for a -2, and one up for a +2. Otherwise stated, replace +-1 with the vector +-(1,0) and +-2 with the vector +-(0,1), then take the running sum to obtain all the vertices of the fractal.
Dekking's "Recurrent sets" published this first, but this "E-curve" was discovered in 1978 by Douglas McKenna.

FORMULA

If s=[a,b] is a signed permutation, then s(1)=a, s(2)=b, s(-x)=-s(x), a,b,x in {1,2,-1,-2}. Substitution T is defined by T(i) = (i, i, ut, -t, u, i, ut, -t, -i, ut, i, i, t, u, t, -u, -u, -t, -u, -ut, t, u, i, -ut, -ut), where the signed permutations are defined by i=[1,2], t=[1, -2], u=[2, -1]. The start of the substitution is 1. This means that
T([1,2]x)=([1,2](x), [1,2](x), [2,-1][1,-2](x), -[1,-2](x), [2,-1](x), [1,2](x), [2,-1][1,-2](x), -[1,-2](x), -[1,2](x), [2,-1][1,-2](x), [1,2](x), [1,2](x), [1,-2](x), [2,-1](x), [1,-2](x), -[2,-1](x), -[2,-1](x), -[1,-2](x), -[2,-1](x), -[2,-1][1,-2](x), [1,-2](x), [2,-1](x), [1,2](x), -[2,-1][1,-2](x), -[2,-1][1,-2])(x)),
So T(1)=(1,1,2,-1,2, 1,2,-1,-1,2, 1,1,1,2,1, -2,-2,-1,-2,-2, 1,2,1,-2,-2) etc.
