​As part of my post-graduate studies, for my mathematics module, I was tasked with developing an L-System Generator.

 

Simply put, L-Systems follow aset of defined parameters in order to create a wide variety of patterns. In this case, the generator is used mainly to mainly generate tree/leaf structures purely through code. This meant the entire generator had to be built from scratch and be able to take user entered data to generate the corresponding structure.

 

For those that are less experienced or have little to no knowledge of L-Systems, finding existing data online would be advised when using and testing this generator however, the generator itself has a drop down menu that provides a couple of options as well as parameters for some existing L-Systems to test out.

​

The generator itself goes through five iterations of the generated structure that can be swapped between to view and this is mainly to improve performance and speed up generation time of complicated structures.
