L-Systems interactive

Main subject is a machine to try out Lindenmayer's language. If you don't know my version of his language, use the choice below the Canvas to view some examples first. Type in the parameters and watch the result after pressing return or clicking one of the the buttons. Move the circle to vary the starting position. Look at the symbols list and get more information about the L-system (page 2).
