Print the most famous L-Systems in 2D (Imagine ) and 3D (OpenGL).

L-Systems are mathematical objects introduced by Aristid Lindenmayer in 1968. They can describe the behaviour of plant cells and to model the growth processes of plant development. L-systems are also used to generate fractals. For more information, check out the Wikipedia page.

This project aims to print different L-Systems in 2D and 3D. The two parts are independant.

First install the Imagine librairies. Don't forget to set Imagine_DIR environment variable. Then you can use cmake and make to install the 2D part of the project:

$ cd 2D/
$ mkdir build && cd build/
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..
$ make
$ make install

The two executables are located in 2D/bin/ directory. cs.out print a vraiation of L-systems using context-sensitive grammar and sto.out, another variation using stochastic grammar.

In 3D, we print only classic L-systems

You need to install the following OpenGL libraries: freeGLUT, GLEW, SOIL and GLM. Then you can install the second part of the project.

$ cd 3D/
$ mkdir build && cd build/
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=..
$ make
$ make install

The lines below should create 5 executables in 3D/bin/:

• hilbert.out prints the 3D Hilbert curve
• koch.out prints the Koch snowflake in 3D
• menger.out prints the Menger sponge
• pyramid.out prints a pyramid fracal
• sier.out prints the Sierpinski tetrix
