What are L-Systems? :
L-Systems, or Lindenmayer System is a simple but elegant 'turtle' rendering platform.
Because of the recursive nature of the L-system rules I implemented them using the recursion capability of the Java language and OpenGL to produce fractal-like forms which are easy to describe with an L-system.
Plant models and natural-looking organic forms 'grow' and become more complex by increasing the iteration level of the form.
Features:
- It is made using OpenGL and not Canvas for speed and performance
- Animated growth, colors and wind effect
- Supports both portrait and landscape modes (Orientations) for all devices
- No permissions are required
Who is Lindenmayer ? :
Aristid Lindenmayer, a Hungarian theoretical biologist and botanist at the University of Utrecht. Lindenmayer used L-systems to describe the behaviour of plant cells and to model the growth processes of plant development. L-systems have also been used to model the morphology of a variety of organisms[1] and can be used to generate self-similar fractals such as iterated function systems.
