A Lindenmayer System consists of
A Lindenmayer System consists of
* an initial string called ''axiom''
* an initial string called ''axiom''
* a set of rewriting ''rules''
* a set of rewriting ''rules''
This is an experimental page, where the Lindenmayer Systems can be changed online.
This is an experimental page, where the Lindenmayer Systems can be changed online. The visualization is done by the JavaScript library [http://jsxgraph.org JSXGraph].
For each system a maximum ''level'' is defined. If this value is increased, the complexity of the drawing rises and running time increases, too.
