make a function recursive (koch snowflake)

Hello everybody, I have this function to store the points of a koch snowflake and draw them. The problem is that I have done it with loops and not recursively, and I would like to do it recursively. I want to do it with only one input (the number of iterations) and store all the points to the matrix P. Do you have any idea on how to do it? or the pseudo-code or something like this. Thank you very much!

function Koch(n)
%Koch draws Koch snowflake
%n is how many iterations of the creative process we want 

% initialize P to an equilateral triangle 
P = [ 0 0; 
      1 0; 
      cos(-pi/3), sin(-pi/3); 
      0 0  ];

for iteration=1:n
   newP = zeros( size(P,1)*4+1, 2);
   
   for i=1:size(P,1)-1
       newP(4*i+1,:) = P(i,:);
       newP(4*i+2,:) = (2*P(i,:) + P(i+1,:) )/3;
       link = P(i+1,:)-P(i,:);
       ang = atan2( link(2), link(1) );   
       linkLeng = sqrt( sum(link.^2) );   
       newP(4*i+3,:) = newP(4*i+2,:) + (linkLeng/3)*[ cos(ang+pi/3), sin(ang+pi/3) ];
       newP(4*i+4,:) = (P(i,:) + 2*P(i+1,:) )/3;
   end
   newP( 4*size(P,1)+1,:) = P(size(P,1),:);
   P = newP
end

% now join up the points in P
   clf;        % clear the figure window   
   plot( P(:,1), P(:,2) );   % plot P
   axis equal; % make the x- and y-scale the same
   
end

The following replaces the "for iteration = 1:n" loop with a recursive function

%Koch draws Koch snowflake
%n is how many iterations of the creative process we want 
n = 5;

% call recursive Koch function
P = Koch(n);

% plot snowflake
clf;        % clear the figure window   
plot( P(:,1), P(:,2) );   % plot P
axis equal; % make the x- and y-scale the same
   
   function P = Koch(n)
          
           if n == 1
              P = [0 0; 1 0; cos(-pi/3) sin(-pi/3); 0 0];
              P = newP(P);
           else
              P = Koch(n-1);  
              P = newP(P);
           end
   
   end
   
   function Pout = newP(P)
           newP = zeros( size(P,1)*4+1, 2);
           for i=1:size(P,1)-1
               newP(4*i+1,:) = P(i,:);
               newP(4*i+2,:) = (2*P(i,:) + P(i+1,:) )/3;
               link = P(i+1,:)-P(i,:);
               ang = atan2( link(2), link(1) );   
               linkLeng = sqrt( sum(link.^2) );   
               newP(4*i+3,:) = newP(4*i+2,:) + (linkLeng/3)*[ cos(ang+pi/3), sin(ang+pi/3) ];
               newP(4*i+4,:) = (P(i,:) + 2*P(i+1,:) )/3;
           end
           newP( 4*size(P,1)+1,:) = P(size(P,1),:);
           Pout = newP;
   end
