Lindenmayer.jl: Defining recursive patterns in Julia

8 days ago

Lindenmayer.jl is a package for creating LSystems, which are recursive patterns defined by rules.
LSystems were developed by Aristid Lindenmayer in 1968 to model plant growth and organism morphology.
The package uses Luxor.jl for drawing the LSystems.
An LSystem consists of rules (search and replace), an initial state, and a current state.
Example: Sierpinski triangle LSystem with rules 'F' => 'G+F+Gt' and 'G' => 'F-G-F'.
The drawLSystem() function evaluates and draws the LSystem with customizable parameters like forward distance and turn angle.
Characters in rules correspond to turtle commands (e.g., 'F' for forward, '+' for clockwise turn).
Additional features include arbitrary functions via the '*' character and custom evaluations using evaluate() and render().
Debugging can be enabled with ENV['JULIA_DEBUG'] = Lindenmayer.
