L-Systems - Lindenmayer (1925 - 1989)
Aristid Lindenmayer, the biologist, has developped a very simple language with only a few symbols to construct structures of plants, classical and new fractals. My program Lindenmayer takes simple L-System terms and the result is a fractal graph like the example below.
Axiom: F
1. Rule: F → ++GF---F---G+++F+
2. Rule: G → -G---F+++G+++GF--
