plants

Program to create visualizations of plants and other fractals in Python using l-systems

Explenation

For now it's only a simple program with some operations and a simple parser for the turtle in python. I'm looking into how to make it compatible with some sort of programming language or JSON/toml like config file.

Progress

I need to do 2 big things;

• Stochastic grammars
• Add context sensitve grammars.
• Add parametric grammars, this is somewhat difficult but leads to beatiful pay offs
• 3D support, for stuff like trees in 3D space

Dependencies

• Python3.x
• Tkinter

Running the script

For now it's easy to run this script. The following steps are what you need to follow.

Clone the repo

Clone deze repo in de top directory van XAMPP dat is htdocs

$ git clone https://github.com/Thom2503/plants.git

Run the script

Go to the cloned folder.

$ cd plants

Run the main.py script:

$ python3 main.py --config /configs/islangs.toml

Editing the rules for creating figures

There are configs in /configs that have the configurations with the rules, axiom, iterations etc. Look at the files and you can edit them however you want.

Resources

Below are some resources that I used while making this.

• The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants
• L-system
