LYNDYHOP is a simple Java-Application for PC and
Mac that lets you experiment with Lindenmayer systems,
or L-Systems. In an L-system you use a set of rules to generate self-similar fractals (= pretty pictures).
LYNDYHOP is fun and easy to use and helps providing
a better understanding of L-Systems.
In LYNDYHOP you can create your own rule sets, generate graphics step by step, and if you like the outcome you may save the rule set, or load one. The program also provides
a graphical representation of the rules, which helps to
understand the growth of the scurrile patterns.
Supported L-System "styles" are: edge rewriting,
node rewriting, bracketed OL-systems, as
described in the book "The Algorithmic Beauty
of Plants" by Przemyslaw Prusinkiewicz and
Aristid Lindenmayer.
