Real Plants
- Plants from literature
A very famous part of Lindermeyer Systems is the modeling of plants, as you saw on the starting page on the left,
where we already inserted a nice visualization of plant development.
Recursions : 6
Angle : 22.5°
Axiom : ++++A
Rules : A=F-[[A]+A]+F[+FA]-A
F=FF
Note: actually we only adapted the axiom to ++++A ( = 90° to the left) that we get a vertical plant!
The goal is to describe the development of a plant, and in
particular the emergence of plant shape, as the integration of the development
and functioning of individual modules.
Now we would like to show you some more plants using L-systems:
Recursions : 7
Angle : 22.5°
Axiom : ++++A
Rules : A=F[+A][-A]FA
F=FF
Note: actually we only adapted the axiom to ++++A ( = 90° to the left) that we get a vertical plant!
- our own
a thuja-bush

Recursions : 5
Angle : 28°
Axiom : ++++A
Rules : A=FF[+B]F[-A]FA
B=FF[-A]F[+A]FB
F=FF
- going further
It is also possible to grow plants with an 3D-Lsystem. For movies and pictures go here or here
