Todor LatevA native Autodesk® AutoCAD® Lindenmayer System (L-System) generator/processor. Draw complex shapes/fractals through the use of iteration.
Free
An L-system or Lindenmayer system is a parallel rewriting system and a type of formal grammar. An L-system consists of an alphabet of symbols that can be used to make strings, a collection of production rules that expand each symbol into some larger string of symbols, an initial "axiom" string from which to begin construction, and a mechanism for translating the generated strings into geometric structures. L-systems were introduced and developed in 1968 by 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 and can be used to generate self-similar fractals.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Are there any known issues with this product?
For stochastic rules make sure the individual rule probabilities add up to 100% - the app will still generate the L-System, but the result may not obey the correct distribution if this condition is not fulfilled.
Is there additional support information provided?
