- Well I don't know about fractint's explicit documentation for the
- L-system fractals, but I do know that L-systems in general were well explored
- and developed with the LOGO language. It was an interpeter designed to
- explore such fractal geometry as hilbert and peano curves. A good book on
- this type of mathematics is "Turtle Geometry" by Harald Abelson & Andrea
- DiSessa. It develops from simple examples and leads to very complicated
- explorations in this novel area of geometry. Fractint's l-systems are
- faster and their descriptive syntax is more concise but the fundamentals
- are the same.
