-
- The first public release of graphtal is now available via anonymous
- ftp at iamsun.unibe.ch (130.92.64.10) and is found as
- /Graphics/graphtal-1.0.tar.Z or
- /Graphics/graphtal_no_bison_no_flex-1.0.tar.Z.
-
- graphtal is an L-system interpreter.
- The following features are included:
-
- o D0L-systems,
- o tables of productions,
- o productions with parameters,
- o stochastically applied productions,
- o global and local constants,
- o hull definitions (turtle interpretation with regard to
- these hulls),
- o production parameters may be strings or real values,
- o animations support,
- o turtle interpreter with macros,
- o preview for X11,
- o zBuffer preview and output for rayshade.
-
- What you will need:
-
- - C++ compiler (g++ doesn't work)
- - bison and flex (if not available, get graphtal_no_bison_no_flex.tar.Z)
- - rayshade 4.0.6 and the URT toolkit (not necessary)
-
- How do you compile graphtal:
-
- - Get the source.
- - zcat graphtal.tar.Z | tar xvf -
- - cd graphtal
- - Edit the Makefile to set the compiler you have.
- - make depend
- - make
- - execute an example:
- graphtal -d x11wire Examples/birchtree.lsys
-

- - DEC Station with DEC C++ 1.0
-
- Examples:
-
- In the directory graphtal/Examples some interesting L-systems are

-
-
- Please send bugs (accompanied by L-systems causing them),
- interesting L-systems for inclusion in the release, enhancements,
- and suggestions to the author via email.
