Draw fractals using L-system - Dailyprogrammer (original) (raw)

A easy way to draw fractals is to produce a string using an L-system and to interpret each symbol in the string as a drawing operation, thus usingturtle graphics. For an interesting description of L-systems and their brief history see Chapter 1 of The algorithmic beauty of plants. Here are some examples of fractals:

• Koch curve
  
• Sierpinski triangle
  
• A plant
  
• Another plant
  
• Dragon curve
  
• Hexagonal Gosper curve
