2D L-System Generator

Project’s GitHub Repo

About

My implementation of a L-System generator, written in Python. The generator is designed to run in a unix based operating system like MacOS and/or Linux. The L-System pattern is generated in normal Python. The GUI uses the Python package, Tkinter, to provide a way for users to input values for the L-System generator. The Python package, Turtle, to daw and display the generated L-System pattern.

Generated Sample Patterns

How To Use

  1. Clone the project’s code from GitHub.

  2. Run the main.py script to run everything, with the following command (run this once and after you understand the warning message, then start running this command with the -nw option):

    # run with the initial warning message
python3 main.py

# run without the initial warning message
python3 main.py -nw

  3. The script, after showing the GUI, generates an eps file with the L-System pattern. To convert an eps file to a png, you can use the eps_to_png.py python script by running a command like this:

    python3 eps_to_png.py example.eps example.png
