A simple L-System generator written in pure Python, with a PySide2 / Qt GUI front-end. This project started out as a side-exploration into space filling curves and plant/tree generation.
Run src/main_gui.py. There is no need to run the Makefile, except for running the tests and rebuilding the GUI (Unix-likes only).
You can find the axioms, rules and angles for each l-system in the src/data/lsystems.json file.
Some of the featured l-systems may be unstable - their shapes maybe inverted or other irregularities will
appear between odd and even iteration depths.

Most tree l-systems are from Lindenmayer, A. and Prusinkiewicz, P. (1990) The Algorithmic Beauty of Plants.

Note: the Gosper's curve is also a space filling curve.
