L-systems

Aristid Lindenmayer, 1968

A botanist’s grammar for growth. Start from a short word, rewrite every letter by a rule, repeat, then read the result as pen moves: F draws a step, + and − turn, brackets save and restore the pen. One rule draws a coastline, another a weed.

Plante: X → F+[[X]−X]−F[−FX]+X, F → FF, 25°
