The algorithmic beauty of plants
summary
Claims that plant growth maps to generative grammars and demonstrates a concrete L‑system pipeline: an axiom plus replacement rules produce strings, a transformation function maps symbols to drawing commands, and turtle graphics render the results on canvas/WebGL. Shows code (John Bravo’s Lindenmayer systems repo) and iterative outputs where each iteration is a valid plant stage, stepping from seed to branching tree and proving the method by building progressively complex renderings.
